I'm going to make this short.

I supported the family and rehabbed the house.

Her career took off as I lost my business in the housing crash and then I cared for our children and house and worked as she traveled.

Now we face divorce. Should I accept $22,000 for equity in our home and equal custody or fight?

I would get nothing else and make about $40,000 a year.

We are in a state that almost always gives an equal split and this offer doesn't include her retirement or stock. I don't want them, I want my girls, but am I being short sighted?

I don't want to piss away money on lawyers but I also don't want to be a fool.
