W wants to keep the house, which will require her father to step in and pay off or refinance the mortgage, as well as buy out my equity stake. This transaction would lead to wife paying no mortgage or rent. I am willing to agree to this IF my spousal support is then reduced to zero. L believes this to be very reasonable, since the market rent alone for our home would exceed my monthly alimony, and W would be living here for free.
Your L may feel it's reasonable but was does the law say? Not sure she gets penalized for rich parents. IMO Someone should keep the home if possible for the children's stability. If not you than her and IMO should not be used as a bargaining tool.

Believe it or not although she wants out she is disappointed the marriage didn't work out.
