Answer: I am not an authority on North Dakota law, but in most states, property which was received through gift, devise, or inheritance and held in an individual’s name, remains individual, separate property and is not included in “marital assets”. If on the other hand, you hold the property jointly or as tenants in common, you have basically gifted a portion to your spouse, who may now claim an interest in such property.
I suggest you contact an attorney-mediator in your area who is familiar with the specific marital laws in your jurisdiction, who can assist you in this matter and can help you with the overall separation and divorce.
