My wife and I are separated and I want to buy a house. Will she be intitled to any of it if we are not divorced?

We have only been married for 16 months and she said she is willing to spkit with nothing asked from either party, I just want to be sure she can't force me to give her half the equity, and she does work if that matters.
It is not safe to purchase a new home while you are still married to your wife. She might be able to make a claim for part of that new house. You should have an attorney involved in any new financial transactions that you make. You should also have an experienced family law attorney assisting you with your divorce.
Unfortunately, people frequently change their positions during the course of a divorce. I recommend that you and your wife should each have a lawyer. This will ensure that both of you are treated fairly.
Sitting down with a lawyer will allow you to discuss facts and issues which are not part of your question. It is those facts and issues which make it impossible for anyone here to give you a yes or no answer.
I agree with the other attorneys that it would be best for you to seek legal advice. The answer you are seeking is fact specific and there are alot of facts missing from your question. You need to consult with a qualified family lawyer over this matter.
