I'm not sure of all the particulars. Wouldn't he have to pay you your half of the house? If so, is there enough equity to go and buy a new place without those awful memories.
When things got bad between me and STBXW I made a major mistake and let her throw me out. She wanted me to leave, but she couldn't make me. I left thinking it would show her how much she missed me.
So basically I ceded the house over to STBXW. In the end though it hasn't been a bad decision. The house is sinking her financially. She can't sell it. It's now worth $15k less than we owe so she's stuck.
Me? I'm moving into a new house in two months. It's small, but the girls will have their own rooms and it's next door to my uncle and his in-ground pool.
So take a long hard look at your house and see if it's worth it financially to fight over. You may be better off downsizing and letting him have to worry about the upkeep and such.
I can see why you are sad though. The house in our case was one my parents owned in the 1970s. Now when I go over there I've been scrubbed free of the place. STBXW and I were together in eight rooms of that place. I get overwhelmingly sad when I'm there and no longer welcome.
