一般情况是这样
Notwithstanding that one spouse may have owned the matrimonial home on the date of marriage in sole tenancy, and brought that asset into the marriage, he or she does not get to include the value of that asset as something he or she owned on the date of marriage. The full value of the home at the time of separation is included in his or her calculation of net assets on the date of separation. Simply put, you do not get a financial credit on marriage breakdown for having brought the matrimonial home into the marriage.
例外是这样
It must be noted that for this exception to apply, the same home must still be the matrimonial home at the time of separation. If the original home was sold and a new home moved into and was the matrimonial home at the time of separation the spouse who brought the original home into the marriage would be allowed to include the value of the original matrimonial home in calculating his or her assets owned on the date of marriage. As a corollary to this, in the normal course, any money or money's worth that was gifted to a spouse from a third party (say parents or an inheritance from that rich uncle who lives in Europe) is excluded from the calculation of a spouse's net assets owned on the date of separation. However, if that inherited or gifted money is put into the matrimonial home, i.e to pay down the mortgage, build a pool or renovate, the exclusion is lost.
