OP Here. My parents have plenty of money and the only reason that I am upset is they always throw it in my face that they have to be fair and give equal amounts of money to all of us including my youngest brother. They also tell us that they are not giving us money because my one brother is an F-UP! Then they turn around and give buy his x wife out of the house so he can own it by himself.

Most of us would not regard financial help as a "reward" in a divorce, OP. Divorce is a serious situation that can wreak havoc on your psychological, physical and financial health.

Are you afraid your parents would not have any money left over to help you?

Anyway, you sound terribly immature and whiny.

They've probably looked at your brother's situation from every angle and have decided that it will be cheaper for all concerned if he stay in the house. Selling a house is expensive (agent fees, repairs, new paint, new carpet, etc) and selling the house might not leave him with enough leftover to get another place.

I would stay out of it.

Reward for a divorce. Interesting choice of words.

+1000. Butt out. Their money, their choice. You sound like a kid who's sulking because your brother is getting something and you're not. You should be far past that. Plus, do you really wish you were the one divorcing?

I'm glad that your brothers' family is there for him during a rough time in his life. Well, some of his family.

Would you want your parents to help you out if you were in a bind? Lucky for you, you're not. But next time you might be.

So you'd rather they punish him for the divorce?

Do they have kids? Perhaps neither your brother nor his ex can afford the house on their own, and your parents are helping to give their grandchildren more stability by letting them stay in their home post-divorce. You would really begrudge kids that just because you didn't get a cut?

Not your money, not your business. Being a money grubber is so very unattractive.

What would you say? You want your share? MYOB.

Do they comfortably have that kind of money to give? Will this impact their retirement plans? I think you're looking at it the wrong way ("reward"?), but depending on their situation, I might be concerned if this was a lot of money for them.

Would you rather your soon to be ex SIL get the house ? You need to think on that.

I would talk to your parents if you have that type of relationship with them, and ask them if the buy out is a loan. It isn't pleasant to have these discussions but it will prevent resentment from building.

Possibly even have your brother there during the conversation.

We have the type of family that discusses these issues with each other.

MYOB.

My brother is going through a divorce, and my parents want him to keep the house. My parents are planning on buying her out of her half. I am upset that my parents are essentially rewarding my brother for a divorce. Would you be upset and say something to my parents?
