Hello I'm new here. I was just reading this thread. I'm going through a divorce as well. My wife filed last month and so did I. I have since moved out on my own. You have every right to move. When you do you won't be responible for any of the house expensives. My wife now pays all our household expensives. From the mortgage to everyday expensives and it's making her go broke. She verbally told me she could afford it. I said have had it. Now I want my 50% and now she's is going to have a hard time coming up with $60.000 to pay me off. She can have the house I just wants what's fair to me. She won't be able to afford that house without my name on the mortgage. I feel really bad for my wife and the actions she has taken. It sad that someone you love after 7 years of marriage just checks out. I've tried to reconcile with her but she doesn't want me at all. The daughter and I will manage to get by and will make it down the road.
