The house itself is not marital property since it was purchased prior to the marriage. However, any increase in value of the home during the course of the marriage is marital property. For example, assume the house is worth $250,000.00 right now. Say you decide to divorce in the year 2020 and assume the house is worth $300,000.00 in the year 2020. In that case, $50,000.00 of the homes total value would be considered marital property and thus would be subject to distribution through the divorce.

If, as John mentioned, at some point you add her to the deed, then the entire home would become marital property.
