Any property acquired during the course of the marriage with funds earned during the marriage are marital property and are generally divided equally between the parties. If the monies you used to purchase the house came from separate funds that you owned prior to the marriage or from an inheritance, then the house would be considered separate and not marital property.
Under the new law in New York State, if the marriage has broken down for over six months, you can file for divorce based on those grounds. You will however, have to settle all of the financial matters as well before a divorce will be granted.
If you’re located in the New York City metropolitan area, please call me at 212-370-1660 to arrange for a meeting to discuss the matter at greater length.
