Divorce Support Forums: $ Gift From My Parents / Kicked him out of house

[quote]please don't diminish the cause of people who have really been the victim of violence by suggesting that arguments between you make you a victim because of "verbal violence" unless of course his verbal violence consists of actual credible threats to hurt you immediately...

To clarify, the verbal violence I referred to is him yelling and making hurtful comments. He is not making threats for my safety. He has admitted he became an alcholoic while he was at school - this was news to me. I'm unsure if we be an "angry drunk" should he approach me wasted, but I have no grounds to say he may be physically violent.

[quote]If you are losing your house to foreclosure (or short sale), then I'm gathering that the two of you are otherwise insolvent? And you were employed while he was not employed during the marriage?

We're now both gainfully employed making similar incomes. We simply want to sell our house but are "upside down" in our mortgage due to living in the second-to-worst county in the country for the real estate crisis. He was unemployed only for the time he was in school

[quote]Which is not to say that you might not deserve some kind of equalizing payment on a property/debt settlement for having essentially supported him in a way that he didn't need to take out an extra $15K in loan money over. That's property settlement, though... not alimony!

Thank you so much for your insight on this issue. It seems I need to negotiate for that to be part of the property settlement.

Any insight for question #2?
