If you own a house and then marry would your spouse have any claim to the home?

[Edit]

Answer

In Ohio no. I dont know what the laws are in other states. Anything that was yours before the marrage is still yours. Anything you bought together is fair game.

In all US states any property obtained before a marriage is solely owned by the person who purchased it.

The exception is, if the spouse was added to the title/deed to the property.

How do you marry your dying spouse?  If you buy a house in your name after you marry and then you seperate does he have claim to your house?  If you own a house then get married it lasts 5 years does she get part of the home?
