Yes, you can waive your right to alimony if you so choose. I might hold off saying so out loud to him until negotiations are completed on the rest of the divorce. As or the house, property that you owned prior to the marriage is considered separate and not up for disotrbution in a divorce. However, inccreaed equity in a house - when directly attributed to the non-owner - can be subject to distribution in a divorce. Get some guidance. Good luck.
