If you've made most of the income, why can't you keep the house? Can't she move out? Or are you assuming spouse support? If she has a marketable skill/education, I wouldn't think that would extend beyond temporary. Besides, the boys will undoubtedly be with you, and any alimony would certainly be offset by child support she would have to give. I imagine it would be a wash. So, unless you can't make the house payment by yourself, I wouldn't sell the house. Don't do something you'd regret. Or is it a matter of splitting the equity? Maybe something could be worked out that would delay needing to pay her off (ie "she gets half of the net amount if you sell" or x amount of dollars in 3 years if you don't"...something like that). Or in lieu of child support (+/- temporary spouse support), you'd keep the house.

P.S. I think you've handled everything else well. See how relaxing it is to do your own thing rather than hover around her hoping for some quality time?
