Right now, its practical for us to maintain our home (which requires two incomes) while we work to divide assests and bring a few other financial matters to a close.

Since we have had a legal separation for years now, i gave up all claim to our family home, and I'm good with that decision. I put up the cash to get us in the home, but my credit rating had been destroyed back then, so i couldn't qualify for a loan.

My ex-wife is currently suing me for increased child support for ny youngest son (he is 15) and hr attorney is trying (unsuccessfully) to attack my current wife's income, but the legal separation has effectively blocked that effort, and this isn't the first time the ex has employed this tactic.
