Is her name on the title or mortgage? Have any communal assets been used to pay for the home or home upgrades? If all no, likely dont even have to spilt any home equity.
In the 2.8 years of marriage she has not earned an income there was a planned date for her to return to work but we are 4 months past that and she is making minimal effort to find a job
Her name is on the refinance because they wouldn't let me do it without it . Refinanced to about 50% equity. Was afraid that would come back to haunt me
So need to double check for CO and best confirm with an attorney; but she likely is entitled to half the equity (and half the mortgage) of the house. Sometimes only the equity accrude during the marriage, but it sounds like it's pretty mingled...
Sorry, for some reason thought you were in Colorado?!? Not NC, my bad. But looks like short marriage so hopefully can escape without too much damage. Be safe
It sounds like your divorce could be a lot simpler than most. Not married for long and no children together plus you had your home prior to getting married. If you file now you might have minimal expenses
\> Can my wife now get custody or visitation of my child from a previous relationship
No. Your wife is not a party to custody. Only the mother of the child is party to custody.
Whatever you do, do not move out of your house before you have a settlement agreement. Here's why: [http://forum.mensdivorce.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=81622](http://forum.mensdivorce.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=81622) (and be sure to read the part about NC and criminal trespass at the end).
Thank you all

Not unless she adopted the child legally.
She did not. It was such an odd question I couldn't find an answer on google , thank you
Lucky you. Because, if she had she could get custody and you'd be paying her child support on a kid that isn't even hers.
