I’m in freak out mode so I just need to understand how am supposed to make this work. Here are the facts: Home purchase 181k 3 year later my stbx moves in. Lived together in the home about 10yrs We’ve paid in about 50k. Home appreciates value to 340k. We have two kids. She has a new life set up. House (in an upscale gated community), man. etc. She wants 100k to buy out her portion of the home. That’s fair if you look at the equity it built. I’m about to loose half our home income, have to refinance at atleast 230k, begin child support. How am I supposed to make that work? I make ok money about 90k a year. Even if I sold I’d have to either buy a shit house in a shit neighborhood that’s an hour away from where she’s moving. Or rent and at a price more than what my mortgage is and I would slowly loose the money I gained in equity from the house. Idk what to do. I’m fucked.
