I don't have a lawyer yet, but I've had two consultations and will be going for a third next week. I got a good vibe from this last one, so we'll see what happens when we speak.

That's my problem - I'm scared to burn through my savings. I could easily get a roommate, be able to afford the house and keep it for a bit longer. That would be the smart thing to do because I'm also nervous about tax implications. H doesn't care about any of this. At this point, I can't detach from this house. It's not the house per se, it's the idea of our future/dreams cut down, H trying to use our dream w/ OW. Also part of down payment was a gift from MIL & SIL was also upset when H told her he wanted to keep our house. MIL didn't give us that & for H to then live in it w/ OW.

As I've done a little investigating and discovered some of H's poor financial choices, I don't believe he could afford to buy me out. We've only had the house since April, so not much equity, if any. SIL and I both think if he would try to buy me out, he'd ask FIL for $ and that's not going to happen either. All of this is unknown right now, so I won't have real answers until I get an attorney and have the house appraised. I feel so unsure about which direction to go, [b][/b] especially because I don't know what H's reaction will be to all of this. Not paying the mortgage feels very aggressive to me, so I can only imagine what's to come.
