Looks like it is the end of my 8 year marriage...

This guy...isn't wrong. While this is going to be a terribly expensive lesson, if you take it on the chin and figure it out, you may just be moving up in life.

Whatever you do, DONT give her the house!! Don’t even move out of the house. If you already have, go back. You have every right to be there. Nobody can make you leave it. You need to sell the house and slit the equity.

Risky strategy

>8 years of marriage
>apparently no kids
Huh?

Exactly this!! If he fights her and they take it to court it's hers. She will take it to court anyway so quickly sell it!! That's the only gain op can get
