If it comes to it, could you afford to take over the present house payments? Would you even want to live there? There is a lot less fuss removing a person from the title and mortgage than selling and buying and moving.
If the answer is yes/yes, we typically suggest that the one that wants out of the marriage is the one that moves out of the house. You stay where things are already stable for your kids.
After I had a parenting arrangement, I was the one that moved out. Mostly because the marital house needed lots of work. I stopped working on all the improvement projects after BD and focused on DBing.
