I divorced my ex-husband and gave him everything, including our home, to avoid conflict. We decided to give our marriage another shot and got remarried, but that was a mistake. Now we’re getting divorced again. Can I ask him to split the house this time?
It might be seen as his property since it was his before the second marriage. Community property laws differ by state, so check your local laws.
I’m really curious—why did you feel the need to marry again? What was the benefit?

Honestly, I have no idea. Looking back, it was a bad idea, but I really thought he had changed.

Sounds like the triumph of hope over experience. Not a great bet.
You can ask for anything during the divorce. Only your attorney can advise you on what you might realistically get. Since the house was his before your second marriage, any equity you could claim would likely be from the date of that marriage in most states.
I’m sorry to hear things didn’t work out as you hoped. Get a good attorney as soon as possible. If there was anything you regretted in your last divorce, make sure to fix it this time.
