Didn't you say your W doesn't work? I don't see how you can get out of this.

Furthermore, the house has zero equity, which is what I have been expressing over and over.
Ad nauseum. I guess you're hoping if you say it enough we'll start believing it. Here's the problem, you don't own the house. The business does. You are part owner in the business which means your W is too. I'll tell you something about judges, they are smart and they are wise. Your argument that sounds brilliant and well-crafted to you will crumble like toothpicks under the judge's scrutiny because they are IMPARTIAL. They won't nod and tell you how right you are like your friends and family and lawyer do. He is going to want to know the value of the BUSINESS, not the house. He is going to determine what your percentage of that is, and what your W is entitled to. He is not going to care that you don't have any savings and don't think you can afford to compensate your W, because he is looking only at what he deems as a fair and equitable settlement. If it's 40k or 100k, how you pay that is your problem, not his. I'm just saying all of this because I have a feeling you are going to get smoked in court and you'll never see it coming if you don't heed our warnings.
