A lot of divorced couples that I have known have come to this agreement.

The custodial parent remains in the house until both kids turn 18 or the parent remarries, then the house is sold. The parent living in the house would be responsible for the house payment.

If you did this it would be a win-win situation. First of all perhaps you could refinance and get a lower payment and not have to uproot the kids. Second by the time your daughter reaches 18 maybe the housing market would have improved by then and you could ask for a higher selling price.

Of course we know that your husband is not being reasonable, but maybe you could get your lawyer to try to negotiate something like this. I don't think I would discuss it with your H, just go straight to you lawyer.

Unreal that he is not concerned that the kids won't have a place to live. We both know that he does not want the kids full time! It would take away his "me" time
