In my case I bought my home with my money as a down payment. Later I married M and since in VA marital income is considered joint, anything paid for with marital income was also considered joint, like the mortgage on my house that I paid for.. lol
Anyway, the "Brandenburg formula" (google that one) was used to calculate an equitable share of the equity based on unequal contributions on the principal. Got a pretty snazzy excel spread sheet for free (after spending $15k on legal fees) I can share if you want it. PM me.
