I am focused on refining my DBing and moving forward. Waiting for the W to initiate R talk again, doubt I will make it through the weekend before D-prep comes up, including telling the kids, who gets the house, custody plan etc. I will keep the board posted and be back to get more input.
I have run some numbers and there is no chance I can buy W out of the house. She has said one of us needs to keep it for the kids and I agree. I know her parents have $$ so I expect them to buy me out. It will suck hard to move out I will tell you that. I will have to step down to a much smaller, older place to be able to afford it in my town. Might have to rent for awhile as there is not much inventory for sale. I would hate to rent for a year or two and then buy, as the kids would just be getting used to my rental place when I pull them up and move them again. I'm still working through a strategy to avoid this outcome, I would like to make just one move and settle in for the long haul.
