Well, you tried to sell your home and your wife insisted on over pricing it so it did not sell.

Your wife has been selfish in not considering her children.

You learned from a lawyer friend that she can’t force you to sell your home. She may think she can but she will find out she can’t have everything HER way. You know she rages when she doesn’t get HER way.

You have equity in your home. Once you sell it she will demand her share and she could very well spend all of that and end up broke. Once that money is gone, it’s gone. And if a divorce gets nasty and lawyers get involved that can eat up a lot of that equity leaving both of you broke.
