We won't take a loss on the house but we definitely would make MUCH more if we did a few more things with it before we sell. It was just built 1.5 years ago and still needs a lot of things done (deck built, landscaping, basement development etc). We could do VERY well if we did those things before we sold but that would leave my W out of luck with getting her own place (short of renting which she certainly could do).
It feels like one HUGE gamble to go for everything I want if my W is offering 50/50 with our kids. There's a chance if I won a battle in court that the kids could be forced to be brought back to my province and that I would still get 50/50 but that's one heck of a gamble.
