is the concern with your partner paying part of the mortgage pre or post marriage? pre-marriage, i would say look at comparable rentals and what they would have to pay towards that. post-marriage i would say draft a prenup where you get to keep the equity in your house and 401k as of the marriage date, and he gets to keep his 401k as of the marriage date. any growth/additional equity will be split 50/50

This is our plan, as well as any acquired assets communally during the marriage to be just that with the exception of the 401k vehicles. Just looking for what an equitable split might be before another property is acquired. Maybe percentage based?

i think a percentage makes sense. get your house appraised, and then divide your equity by the appraisal
