It is possible to make an argument that the down payment was a gift to the marital estate. However, if dad testifies that this was not the intent, the check was made out to daughter only not to daughter and husband, it is likely non-marital.

Unfortunately, you have an uphill battle without a written agreement, like a promissory note. I'm going to assume (since you say it was a verbal agreement) you did not record a mortgage - which would have given you leverage (foreclosure). The fact that he made some payments is good... Read more »
