Seperated and Spouse has the children in a neutral
location where cost is not an issue at this time. We have no seperation agreement as of yet and spouse wants to buy my out the house (jointly owned). That's fine but now she indicates that she needs to rent a place in the meantime until the funds become available for the buyout. My question is that since we co-own the house and it's in both of our names (as is our bank account)and neither of us can afford to subsidize another location and we have no speration/support agreement in place am I or can I be forced to help her support herself in the new rented place? I told her we will end up bankrupt. I want her and the kids to have this house and not sell it to anyone else. I am only sitting in it to protect myself legally as she has left me, until I sell my half to her, but she has grown impatient. I'm keeping my legal options open by staying here and not wanting to be on the outside looking in, is this also the right thing to do? We live in VA
