I hate it for them....Am I projecting? Does anyone have a read on this?
Joseph9,
I think you're spot-on. My sons were born and raised in my house (my wife and I bought it shortly after we married). They love the house and the neighborhood. Keeping the house was important to me because I knew it would provide some stability for my sons during a difficult time.
I was very lucky. During mediation, I discovered that my wife didn't co-sign on the bank note so I didn't have to refinance the house. There's more to the story, but needless to say, it was a good day for doodler.
I hope you're able to work something out with your wife. I think it makes a big difference for the children.
