That's the complicated part. I am not able to sell the house. On the other hand I cannot afford to write her a big fat check either. That puts me in a really rough place, her too. So, surely one of us is going to have some hardship that is usually not an issue in a typical divorce. I don't know how to handle it. I know what is fair, but I also know what I am able to do financially without hindering my own future.
