So you two purposefully planned out a third baby between BD 3 years ago and current BD? That's a tight window. I know several couples who have gone through IVF and it's quite the undertaking. I wonder if you both were completely convinced the marriage would work, or if one or both of you had reservations?

Others can chime in but to clarify I was referring specifically to the sale of the house as part of a financial settlement/negotiation, not suggesting you "block" the divorce, which although I don't know Australia law I doubt you can do. If she wants it she'll get it (at least in the US). But the house is a financial asset needing to be addressed as part of the D settlement, which is up for negotiation. I just meant don't be pressured into using a realtor to sell the place at this time as a misguided attempt to avoid making her angry or resentful at you, if you really do want to keep the house in the D.
