I cannot provide legal advice, but to my knowledge, unless you agreed otherwise when getting married, the community of accrued gains applies. This means that at the time of marriage, it is determined who brings what into the marriage. You bring in the property and equity, your girlfriend brings nothing. The increase in value that occurs over the years with the house is shared, but not the portion that each of you brought into the marriage. In the event of a separation, some math is required... May a lawyer correct me.What would happen in the event of a separation? Would the house then be divided 50:50, even though I contributed significantly more equity?
