What is the name of your state? AZ
8 weeks ago my husband told me he wanted a divorce and doesnt beleive he will change his mind but "we will see". he has spent every weekend out of town since then. 4 weeks ago my husband brought his trailer down from a vacation spot and moved into it.
He has decided that he will take his truck, travel trailer, 4wheeler, polaris, boat, towing trailer, and dune buggy and he said he will give me the house. I told him we need to sell the house. Allot of things need to be fixed because they were not fixed when they broke. I don't know what it is worth but out here the market has been very bad. We owe about what we can get out of it maybe. we refinanced it 2 times of course paying off joint bills and vehicles. He keeps making it clear that he is being very fair by "giving" me the house. I don't want to hurt myself or kids by staying in a house that needs allot of repairs and still has a large morgage that is 65% of my monthly income. When I tell him we need to just sell it he says no that is just stupid, that the kids don't need to move out of that house during all of this on top of everything else. Is that fair I don't want to be selfish but I also don't want to get myself into more financial problems to boot, I can't afford the house payment basically.
My husband has decided he wanted joint custody I was a child of divorse and don't believe in shipping my kids off every other week it is not a stable environment for them. Am I being selfish about that? In the 8 weeks since he has decided to get a divorse he has seen them every day during the week because he has to pick them up from school but during the weekends he has taken one to a hockey game and one spent the night. I think he wants joint custody just so he doesnt have to pay more money but do not believe he understands what joint custody is.

You need to see an attorney, file for divorce and maintenance. The quicker you see an attorney the better. There are too many issues involved to be without legal advice.

he already scheduled an appointment at the Divorse Store.
What is the Divorce Store? Is that a no contest, quick divorce place? Do not agree to anything or let him push you into anything. You should do some consultations with attorneys that will protect you, first. Giving you the house is not fair, if you cannont maintain it on your own. Were all of the items he took paid for, or were some of them covered by the refinancing?

You need to do a full list of the assets and the debts, then consult with an attorney. Most will do free consultations, or at least at a reduced hourly rate. Don't keep the house just for the kids. If he is willing to pay maintenance and that would make if possible for you to keep it, then do it. Otherwise, push to sell it AND all of the other assets. The kids will be fine, in a different house. They will be fine as long as you are fine.

yes the Divorce Store is a quicky divorce place. All of the stuff he is taking is still owed on none of it is in the refi from the house. I appreciate the information.
