What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Hampshire
Well the war is on but an easy war so to speak. My wife coughed up 10k out her 401k so we could buy our house, now we have mutually agreed on everything except she expects me to pay her back the 10k. Now in my eyes, I think I should only be responsible for half that because that would be like me taking 10k out of pocket and paying for what we bought together. Therefore, legally am I obligated to pay the whole amount or just a portion? So far I have verbally agreed to pay 6500 and others tell me that I shouldn't be giving her that much. So I am not exactly sure who is correct.
Mind you, I want it all to be fair so she gets what she needs to move out of the house once we sell it since we cannot make a profit on the house with an FHA loan.
