When I had my divorce, I had the option to take the house. It was my dream house in an old neighborhood. It had a Garage apartment, which I considered renting out to cover some of my taxes, etc.
My W told me I could keep the house and she didn't want any money as a buyout. After she talked to a L, she decided maybe 50-50 wasn't best for the kids, I would have to pay her x amount because she couldn't find a place that she could afford. I said that wasn't my problem. She said it was my problem that I should be concerned where and how my kids were living. I said the kids have a place to live...You get the idea.
The fact is, I don't think I could afford to keep our house. Things are tight now with both of us here. I would like nothing better than to keep it so the kids can come to the only place they have ever known as "home".
Another part of this mess I realize I can't control.
