How do you know? Not much to agree on unless you are talking about personal property.
I guess that’s true. The only real debate will be over the parenting plan. Everything else is pretty much calculated for us from what I understand. Not much negotiation.

I think my wording may have been misleading. W wants to have all of us stay together in the same house, even after D, until our daughter goes to college. IHS is weird enough to me while we’re married. It makes even less sense to me after D. If you don’t want to be with me, and have options of places to stay, even if slightly inconvenient, then just leave. Don’t stick around for another 10 months pretending we’re friends.

I want to but see no feasible way to buy her out of the mortgage. It gained too much equity the past couple of years. I called the bank to get refi costs. That doesn’t work at all. L mentioned trying to get a HELOC, but said after child/spousal support and paying bills on one income, I’d probably have nothing left over. I just accepted that D would mean selling the house. I will revisit my options and see if something works, but yes, I would like to keep the house if at all possible. My mortgage payment is less than small apartments in the area right now. New home prices are so crazy that taking the equity and buying a new home would both increase my mortgage and put me in a small starter home again. I guess that’s the reality of D.
