That wasn't the point I was trying to make, but still not convinced. IMO, a purchase in August of 2013 likely preceded the wedding and could be defined as separate property. But I could be wrong, I don't live in Michigan.

I don't want to get too hung up on this, but once they started to comingle assets, his started going into the house, it was the family home, etc. etc. pretty quickly becomes community property. Know this by having lived in Michigan/friends divorces. You can exclude inheritances that are in cash prior to marriage pretty easily.
