Bethany used her inheritance to buy a house, but her husband wanted to be co-owner even though he didn’t contribute any money. When she said no, he asked for past rent payments or hinted at ending their marriage. As a stay-at-home mom, Bethany sought advice, and many people recommended she think about the worth of her unpaid work and get legal help to understand property laws.
