How can I protect my pre-martial or non-marital assets?
Keep them separate. Keep cash in separate accounts with only your name. Do not commingle, or “mix” marital money with non-marital money. Don’t put your spouse’s name on the title of any pre-marital home, car, etc. If you do spend pre-marital or non-marital money on your house (for example for the down payment) keep very clear documentation of exactly where the money came from and where it went to.
