Facts of the Case

Background

The parties married in 2003 and separated in 2006. The plaintiff purchased a house in August 2006 using a loan from his employer, which was deducted from his salary. The defendant claimed a 50% share of the house, arguing she contributed indirectly to the family and assisted in finding the property. The plaintiff argued the house was his sole property as it was registered in his name and purchased after separation.
