Me and my wife are going to purchase a property together. I am providing the entire downpayment of approximately 50k. If we happen to divorce several years from now, will the property be divided equally given I provided the entire downpayment?

Hi joeyjj,

Welcome to mortgage fit,

If you happen to stay in any of the below mentioned state......

Arizona
California
Idaho
Louisiana
Nevada
New Mexico
Texas
Washington
Wisconsin

then even if you have put down payment of 50 K you are still liable to give 50 % stake to your spouse..All the above mentioned states are termed as community property states.....

If you happen to stay other than above mentioned states then you have make it clear in the property documents that you will be holding extra equity in the house due to payment of down-payment.

Feel free to ask any further query if you have.........

DIPA
