AB - So sorry to hear what you are going through. Thinking about you and saying a little prayer.
For what it is worth, I walked away from my house and gave it to my W. It was a very difficult thing to do. The truth is that I would have been very house poor if I had kept it. I have no idea how my W is going to make it work. I am sure she will quickly move a man in to help pay expenses.
You don't want to be house poor. It is such an emotional decision that I would highly recommend meeting with an unbiased financial advisor and have them objectively asses if this is something you should really do.
I know it is too early to understand what your true income and D settlement will be. But, please keep this in the back of your mind as you work through this.
