Unbiased opinion: home disposition during a divorce

[Anonymous]

OP here: I just suggested to my husband we lower the price and SELL. We dropped it to $410 (I thought we'd already done so, but it was still at $425). Hopefully, that will spur some interest and we're still pulling out $5K each.

I halfway consider buying his interest out and renting myself, but I'm also thinking that selling in this market sucks, but buying would be good and I can't buy unless I unload the first house.

A big plus of divorce is freedom from the ex even if you have to retain some ties through the children. So do not keep the house jointly with him. Either sell it or buy him out but either way don't remain financially entangled. Since we don't know why you don't want to stay in the house or your financial situation, I can't suggest which might be a better option for you (selling or buying him out). Good luck

Sell. My sister is divorced and still has a joint debt with her ex-husband and it has caused a lingering bitterness that is making it difficult for her to move on.

Renting the house out is like being in business together. Bad enough with family so worse with an ex. Plus you are going to lose 7200 / yr renting plus the one month rent you said you owe the realtor. That's ten grand

As for renting with pets you are just making it harder to sell down the line
