Thanks so much Sunny and Raliced for your input.

For me, it's really all to do with right v wrong. He's the one who walked out on his family to be with someone else so I believe the least he can do is give me half of his savings/assets. Okay so he is signing the house over to me, but he is free of the mortgage, and lives his life without any ties and responsibilities of family. Due to a technicality and also the fact he refuses to meet me half way with the valuation of the house means he will be so much better off financially and that just makes me want to scream.

After I refinance the house I will be paying a mortgage until I retire - at age 65+. So not fair. He in the meantime earns 3 times more than me and is living with OW who I believe also has a good job. I'm sorry, I know this sounds really bitter but I can't help it.

Raliced, I think I will try and get a second opinion, thanks again for your advice.
