Even though the house was purchased prior to marriage, it doesn't mean that some of the equity in the home is not marital. Assets can be part marital and part non-marital, and it's not at all unusual for things like houses and retirement accounts.

Now, as for how to get him out, that may be more difficult if there is no adultery, alcohol/drug abuse, or physical abuse by him. The specific facts of your case will help determine which steps you should take.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
