Struggling to afford

I’m trying to keep the house, have to pay out her equity, hoping her 401k being higher than mine knocks down what I owe…. Just trying not to go bankrupt, either have to snag 2nd job or get a gofundme

Oh ok yeah i know that ive just never heard of it referred as a settlement lol yeah i want her to keep the house but I want my 50 % equity i heard alimony is only if she wasn't working she has a good job i used to have a good job but im not making as much as I used to so hopefully I can find a good mid range priced attorney to help me out. We had plans to very amicable but things have changed im not so sure she will keep her word anymore

I'm struggling too, but I know it's temporary and it will all be worth it. Hang in there.

Everybody struggles with finances during divorce. I paid my attorney via credit card. It was worth every dollar.
