I have already givenmy numbers to a lender and he thinks I will be able to qualify. He's running the application today to see how it goes. I have perfect credit, lots of equity, and a decent income + child support. It won't be easy for me, but I am a good investment on the lender's part...so I think it will be fine. Our children don't ever remember living anywhere else (been here 12+ yrs) so this is important to all of us that they stay in their home.

No, there was no discussion of fault. I think it was understood that I was fearful of him, he certainly acknowledges fault sometimes, when he's not blaming me :) how's that for an answer?

And yes, he'll be here until Nov. 30. It's gonna be a long month :)
