[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the one spouse have to agree to buy out the other one? Why would one spouse not agree? [/quote]

One spouse might not be comfortable with the optics of one parent being able to stay in the family home as if nothing happened. Especially if there is family money enabling that. The spouse may prefer that both parents are “starting over” and in new spaces. Otherwise it looks more like one parent got kicked out or left. It’s a perfectly valid perspective. [/quote]

No it is not valid. It is sh*ty and selfish, and usually argued by a man who has more interest in punishing and blaming his ex than actually, you know, working to be a really good dad. Since courts do care about the best interests of the children they might see through this and order the buyout. [/quote]

Unlikely and you are making shit up, with a heavy dose of misandry to boot.

None of this has to do with the “best interest of children” so that is a complete red herring. [/quote]

Forcing your wife to sell your children’s home because you are insecure about her relationship with the kids and insist on a “level playing field” is so far removed from the best interests of the kids, I don’t know what to tell you. Not only are you destroying a key aspect of stability for the kids (their home and possibly friends and school) but you are also wasting money that could go to the kids instead. [/quote]

Yeah, when kids go through all the changes that come with divorce, staying in the same home helps a bit. Leaving the childhood home would be one more loss to grieve.

Like even my cheating alcoholic ex gets this, and wanted me to stay in the home. Part of our settlement is that he pays the mortgage.[/quote]
