My wife has a home she brought into the marriage.  

Here is the info from most common code violations in Denver:"Too many unrelated people Any number of persons related by blood, marriage or adoption may live together in a single-family residence.

Also, the deterioration of their marriage was also thrown in as a "damage" because they couldn't get privacy from their 2 kids in a 200 sq ft travel trailer.* allow them to move back into our condo or another property* provide housing to them for the rest of their lives, rent free.We were finally in a status hearing 4 days before the trial when my lawyer indicated the following:- My lawyer still had no real complaint to defend against. 

If there is no cutoff to how long you can stay and if you are hoping for marriage and children in the fiture and the basement apartment was big enough, or conversly if you don't want to expand your family, just so long as you know you have at least 6 month rent free, you are probably good.  

For 36 yrs of marriage, particularly when we were young and had a 12.25% APR mortgage and later an 8% mortgage, we were sold on the idea of paying off the primary residence quickly (8-12% interest was safer than trying for the same in mutual funds, and came with the "security" of trying to own the house without a mortgage.....along with the Biblical principal of debt-free living).

On holding a marriage together?

My first marriage ended in large part because of that. 

Honestly, I like to say my marriage is my #1 investment (15 years this month!)  

They are pointing to efforts by Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton to limit or reverse the Supreme Court rulings on gay marriage as evidence that Texas is not a good cultural fit.I am now thinking Atlanta or Denver.

It also cost him his marriage and family as well.
