Lawyer says i will have to either sell the house or buy her out half the equity, i dont think i can afford to refinance 25k back into my mortgage at the current interest rates so probably have to sell. He dont think she would get approved as she has gaps in employment and doesn’t make a ton of money. I would have liked for her to buy me out though cause between me and her ex she will be getting $1300/mo in child support and will be able to afford it. Then my daughter and step daughter will be able to stay in that same home and school routine etc. he said 50/50 time will be unlikely because i start work at 3-4am and my daughter is 8. She will get half my savings and 401k, and i will have to pay 700-800/mo in child support.. does this sound bad for a case in Illinois? Married 5yrs 401k and home were started after marriage but home is in my name. I will be left taking home $700-800/wk so it will be difficult not to be homeless unless i move to a different area too..
