You know why divorce is so expensive?
Because it's worth it.

Where do y’all find these bitchy-arse women to marry?
Holy lord, reading this thread is scary. I can’t believe people behave this way - but not everyone of you is lying.
My ex-SIL bent over my brother, too. Although he shouldve seen it coming.

What if wife is not on loan, probably on title, you’re married when purchased and she never payed a penny towards house, no joint accounts? Lol not getting divorced but these threads scare me.

If you're in Louisiana without a prenup, she owns half the equity built up after you were married. Prepare for pain.
Also 401K's, pensions, savings, vehicles, etc are at risk of divisions.

What if this pension was earned before he married her? Say they married 10 years after it was started. How can she be entitled to that money? It was earned before they ever met.

Buy a house before the marriage, the wife gets half of the what the house increased in value. She does not (or is not supposed to) get half of the house value. Only the value it increased while married.

The house does not become community property, but remains the husband's separate property. The wife does not get half the equity. She would be entitled to seek reimbursement, not according to the increased value, but according to her share of the community assets used to pay the mortgage notes.
The "co-mingling" arguments made above apply to investments such as bank accounts, not real estate.

You would need to prove all this racking up serious billable hours for any attorney. Pony up some equity and come to an agreement. Your going to lose the equity to a lawyer, or the ex.
What if flood insurance, where premiums were paid from a joint account, were used to add value to the house? We’re the loans paid from a joint account? Playing devil’s advocate here, but if joint funds were used why wouldn’t your ex be entitled to a portion of the equity?

Is that negated if the OP facilitated a trust to protect his assets/property he brought to the table, prior to marriage?

Isn't that basically a pre-nup? Thanks for all of the advice everyone. Really appreciate it.

Using comingled funds to pay off the asset makes it community property regardless of whether he owned it first

Before the flood, she would only be entitled to half of the principle paid after marriage. The interest is considered community obligation due to the home being enjoyed as a fruit of the marriage. The loans and rebuild probably entitle her to much more than that now though.

Hopefully you have an asset or she has a debt that will offset the principal gained on the home while you were married. It is community property and will be hashed out by a third party attorney during the community property settlement. And what's awesome about that is you get to pay two attorneys that day.

That gives her the right to seek some financial reimbursement, but it does not change the nature of the asset. The house remains his separate property. She should have made him sign half of it over to her before she started using her money to pay for it, but this was not done.
