Speaking from experience my lawyer worked it so that the only thing my ex was entitled to was any value gained after she moved into the house so the initial value and any gains up to her moving in were mine and there after any gains were divided 50/50. Now I had a damn good lawyer and caught her at a guilty moment so that's probably not the way that it works and it's different in every case.
