hi

one note about the house being paid for by your inheritance.

a member of my family used inherited money to pay off a jointly owned house. when that money went from inheritance to pay off the marital jointly owned house, that money became part of the marital asset. BOTH marriage parties became entitled to it equally as part of the marital asset. this is a sticking point in my family right now as the other party has legal right to the money even though it wasn't theirs to begin with.

check with an attorney about how it works in your state, but in NC that is how that works.
