Hi AtP - pleased for you WRT the house offer and hope all goes smoothly.

As to whether you legally S or file for D, it's up to you. From all that you post I wonder whether you would be ready to file for D? If legal S can work for you guys you may want to go for that in the first instance.

Whatever you decide, it's important to have clarity on some key areas - financials, children etc..before you guys physically S.

Sounds like a door will be closing for you....but another one opening too....:-)
