Hi...I have been married for 14 years and had purchased my home a few years prior to marriage...thru out marriage my wife has always refused to help with mortgage payments or any type of maintance of home, or homeowners insurance etc...basically anything to do with home...her answer was always .."it's your house why should I" even though she has lived in the home...she actually makes more than I do..but just helps with the electric bill, cable bill, car insurance, and garbage disposal bill...these she says she helps with because she uses the service ( but when mad she won't help and since my name and my credit ratting, I have to worry about them) ...she says since the house is in my name she won't help with it...but always says as a threat that if we get divorced she wants half the house...I can show that it has always been myself paying for the house ,since she insists on separate accounts and all payments having been from my checking account or for the last few years direct payment electronically from my account. Even when I was out of work for a few months due to a injury, she would not help and I had to scrape by to make payments...
My Question: In case of a divorce is there anything I can do to protect my house..??
Thank you
