If anyone here can answer this question, I would greatly appreciate it.
My husband and I own a house. I moved out over 5 years ago and he stayed and paid on it. Now, he is ready to file for divorce which I am absolutely fine with. He wants me to sign a paper releasing me from the mortgage, and I assume he will want me to sign one for the deed as well. My question is this. I do not want the house, I have no interest in fighting for it. However, I would like some kind of compensation for the 10+ years I did live there and worked and took care of the kids so that the mortgage could be paid. I will need to purchase a house (My current job includes all housing but I can't stay here forever). The house is small and we bought it cheaply (60,000 in 1988). Am I entitled to any money or should I just let it go? If anyone has been through this kind of thing, please email me or PM me. Thanks so much!!
