Another thing I haven't mentioned a lot about is that my W and I simply do not have a lot of money for lawyers. In fact, the only way we will not lose our home right now is if I start to pull investments to keep things going. Beyond that, it will be selling assets (house, trailer, vehicles etc). Paying for lawyers may well mean having to put any money we did have from selling our assets into paying for lawyers.

The timing of this situation couldn't have been worse for us financially. We would have been set for life if we just stuck with our original plan when we bought into the business, built the house, etc. But with things going the way they are now we face financial ruin.

Having said that, I feel I am worth more to my kids than any amount of money. If it means starting from zero financially but my kids having me in their life half of the time it will be worth it.
