Do I keep my house I purchased before the marriage?

If the house was purchased with money you had before you got married, it is your separate property but you will owe your wife some reimbursement for payments made on it during the marriage. It doesn't really matter how title is held if both of your money was used to acquire the house.

Likely you will need to amend your petition for divorce to add a request that the Court confirm paternity of the child since the child is not technically a child of the marriage.  You can provide a certified copy of the acknowledgement of paternity as an exhibit to your petition.  Unless someone challenges the AOP the Court should confirm paternity.   It seems unusual that the Court would deny a TRO due to this situation, but some Courts are very particular about the pleadings and require you to be very precise in your pleadings.
