It will not matter what money she gave him during the marriage.
Any family law claims to assets are too late.
The court would look at this as merely two people who co-own a house.
The court would then look at the contributions each made to the value of the house. So the court could be shown what she contributed, if anything and the rest was contributed by your father.
In that way she would not be entitled to half but she would get some interest.
For this reason you should sit down with a lawyer and figure out what she likely would get and then decide if the $100K is a good settlement or not for your father.
