So if the house was worth $400K when she moved in, but worth $500K when she moved out, she's entitled to half of $100K, not $500K. Kids would probably make it a lot more complicated though.

Thats essentially what he said. Half of the appreciation, but also half of the money going towards it.
Which leads to another important thing: if you have them pay rent, make them pay market value. It can save a lot of head aches.
But really if you are concerned someone is going to come after your #### if you break up you shouldn't be moving in together anyway.
