Wife divorcing me. Have young kids. No mortgage. Trying to figure out if it’s better to keep the house, for stability for the kids. Or better to get a new place for a fresh start. Any advice from those who have been through it is much appreciated.

Details: Stbxw is ramming a divorce down my throat. She says (for now) it’s my option whether I keep the house or she does. Also claims (for now) she is onboard with 50/50 custody split, equal time at my place v hers. We are lucky enough to own the house outright so no mortgage. I would have to buy out her half, which seems insane because I already paid off the house (she doesn’t work). But the whole system is rigged. I would like to move to a different city, but she doesn’t, and given the legal system there seems 0.000% chance I can make a move happen. So at this point it’s basically like keep the house we’ve got, or buy/rent another one a few blocks away. Main concern on keeping the existing house is everywhere I look will be a reminder of the marriage. Main concern of going somewhere new is the kids won’t view it as home and won’t want to spend time there.
