But it will still mean taking on debt, won't it?

Imagine, for a minute, he buys the house. And a year later you get divorced, and the house has dropped in value, so that it's underwater. And his love affair has blown up and he wants to move to another country and sell the house at a loss. Would you be responsible for paying half of the loss?


I just think, when they start making major financial moves like this, it seldom benefits the LBS. This is usually the time to initiate a divorce or legal separation, to protect yourself financially. I doubt any divorce attorney worth their salt would advise you to sit by while your H spends community assets on a house for the OW and him to live in.

What are you hoping to gain by being a doormat in this situation?
