Now that our marriage is over, who gets to keep the house?

Whether you can convince the court to treat the down payment as premarital, separate property, not subject to division in you divorce will depend upon several factors, including the length of marriage and the extent of commingling. For example, if the down payment occurred 40 years ago and if your ex has been working and contributing to maintaining the home for that entire home, you probably wouldn't receive a credit for the down payment. If you've only been married 3 years, you can probably recoup your monies. With more thorough facts, a competent divorce attorney can give you a better idea.

It isn't clear whether your question applies to your step-son or a child of both you and your ex-. However, you have no legal rights regarding a step-son and if there is no court order declaring you to be the father of a second child and giving you specific parental rights, you have no rights and are stuck with whatever rules the mother wants to impose until such time as you get a court to establish rules that she has to follow too.
