She would only be entitled to whatever equity was derived since the marriage. All that you put into the home before the marriage is your separate estate.

My advice to you is that you don't even try to come to agreement with your soon-to-be Ex on any property settlement. The reason being that as soon as she hires an attorney, your agreement goes out the window and her attorney will convince her that she is entitled to much more. So don't waste your time. If you are going to get a divorce, then decide who will file, you or her. Then let your attorneys put together the settlement. You will have ample time argue various points at the settlement conferences.
Lots of divorcing couples come to agreements regarding property settlements. As long as those agreements are fair and mindful of the law, their attorneys do not disagree.

Her attorney will only throw any agreement they make out the window if its not fair.
