to me. We owe $140,000 on the loan? I thought I should at least get half of what the house is appraised for, he said he can't afford to pay that much, what is the correct way to go about this
It depends on how badly you want out of the marriage. I walked away without any cash settlement, just to get rid of him. It wasn't worth fighting about anymore. Plus, you have to figure in how much the lawyer costs will be to fight about it. In the end, they are the only ones that win! Take the 5 grand and split!
