[quote]marriage is 8 years this month. we are both on s.s.dis. He keeps scaring me by saying if i dont let him have the house and motorcylce that he just had me sign title to I will lose the truck that he signed over to me in 2006 in may. I had order of protection in may of this year and was granted my personal belongings a china cabinet and a church pew, all the other furniture is still in the house. he threatened my life in may and ordered me out of the house. I am now without a home and living with my dad. I am 60 years old and so is he. My grounds are extreme mental abuse. [/quote]

He's trying to intimidate you. If he wants to keep the house, then he is going to have to pay you for your share of the equity. If he can't do that, then the judge will order the house to be sold unless there is some other type of asset that is around the value of your share of equity of the house that you can get.

Courts consider 10 years or longer long-term marriages. Even if you were to get alimony, it is usually only for half the marriage. And when there is a big disparity in income. It doesn't sound like there is a big difference in income.

Personally, I would go with the property being divided route.
