Stupid quick question.

Do not leave your house. Talk to an attorney asap about options.

Calm down. Stop beating yourself up. If you play your cards right, it’s not as bad as everyone claims.

In Texas I left early to avoid picking up a felony from being around her. It didn’t matter house went 50/50. She bought me out. Confirm with an attorney

Do NOT leave the house, move into the guest room or basement. Also you say your house, but whose names are on the title and mortgage? Was any community assets / money use in the purchase of the house? Need to talk to a local lawyer because things can vary. But do not leave if you goal is to keep the house.

If you leave before you retain a lawyer, you'll have little chance at retaining the house. Why not suggest she and her kids move out, your shared child can live with you when you have parenting time.

There's no reason you must be the one to leave.

Is she on the deed or the mortgage? Do not leave the house until you are ordered to sell it or move out, if it comes to that. Where would you and your daughter stay if you left? If the house is truly yours alone, she’ll have to be the one to find other accommodations. If marital funds were used for the down payment, mortgage payments, or upkeep on the house, she may be entitled to have some of that returned to her, but a lawyer would know better. Good luck to you!

Echoing the others: don't leave the house yet... that is what any and every attorney would tell you. Consult with a good one, first, then make a plan.

You said you already have a child in a 50/50 arrangement? I would call that a good thing, as opposed to you seeing them less.

So I take it you all don't have any children together, just with previous partners? Then depending on where you live, it should be fairly cut and dried... the house is an asset that was acquired during the marriage and will be divided as such.

How's your child though? How's the environment at home with the STBX and her kids? Those are factors that could possibly be relevant. But yeah... stay in the house for now.

Why are men still marrying recycled women? Even if the divorce wasn't her fault, or her choice they are damaged from the experience. It's hard enough to deal with the bullshit of a woman with no baggage. Women are pulling the eject cord at in credible rate. It just doesn't seem logical to take on someone with so much baggage. Fucking them is a lot different than marrying them. No woman deserves two weddings.
