RTL, Don't paint!!!! You have enough to deal with, you have to save yourself or you will have no emotional energy left to either deal with the D or your W is she decides she wants to try to fix things.Look if you can't swing the money right now just put it off, get estimates and wait till you are putting the house on the market. Painters can come in and do it in in 1 or 2 days , especially if you are just having it done to sell. I know , when we are down eveything seems like a big deal. Men just don't have the kinds of friends women do, to remind them of how they are letting unimportant things upset them. When you list the house you call the painters in a few days before. If W gives you a hard time don't dicuss it with her. When you both decide on a realator then call the painters and give her half the bill, if she doesn't pay it , give it to your lawyer and he will deal with it at the final hearing. It will be part of your debt. Now try to forget about it
