1) Re: Fair [by Anonymous Citizen on October 24, 2008]It is completely fair. He is entitled to the increase in equity in the house during the marriage. Would you be complaining that it wasn't fair if the situation were reversed and he was the owner of the home? Would you think it was fair for you to walk away with nothing while he got everything?

I purchased my home prior to my current marriage. I have now filed for divorce and have read and spouse has been told, he has rights to my home or a portion thereof. How fair is this??

And Women in Michigan have to wonder why A man would fear a marrige commitment???? Hearts change, minds change and situations change. The way the laws work in Michigan now, a middle aged man who has worked most of his adult life and owns his home before the woman came in to his life could very well end up working for the rest of his life to replace the home or equity in the home if she one day just up and decides to call it "quits" for what ever reason. This to me is a bad investment. No person in their right mind would ever go into a business arrangement of any kind with the odds stacked so in favor of the other business party. So why is a man expected to do so especially since women have as much access to education and as much earning potential as any man now??? Can anyone explain to me how this promotes or encourages a family to come together under one roof? As a 38 year old single male and Real Estate professional with an 8 year old daughter this seems like a very poor move for my financial future or that of my daughter.
