I am wondering I bought a home in 2002 and solely owned the home under my name and have recently married in Aug.2009 and my husband and I lived apart. He lived in his own apartment until Feb.2010 because he didn't want to break his lease. I lived apart from him in my home from Aug 2009 to Feb 2010 alone and drove back and forth to his place to see him now I am wondering if we were not to make this work out what is your legal advise to the home since I am the legal owner of the home even though I put him on the Title but not the bank loan which is under only my name. What is your legal advice to who gets the home.

If you put the home under both of your names, there is a presumption that it is community property. At best, you would be entitled to reimbursement for acquiring the property, which could be significant.
