Lol yes it's true that assets acquired before the relationship can be omitted from the general division of marital assets BUT...

The spouse may claime against these assets in the event that they have maintained, improved, or otherwise enriched the assets.

IE: Say you own a condo, she moves in, helps you do renos, she will have a case based on the time/money she spent on improvements in your fully owned condo.
