Pre-Marital Financial Contribution to Real Property

Normally Maryland is a Source of the Funds Theory state. Meaning if you had pre-marital money and used it to purchase marital assets, you could get a return of your non-marital investment. This all changes when you are involved in real property that is owed tenants by the entirety's. In this case all the money is marital no matter where the funds originated, and you have to argue for an equitable distribution of the non-marital money. See Gordon v Gordon. This is a subtle but important variation.
