You're absolutely right. And I have a feeling that you're going to come out of this situation a lot stronger. That's way more important than money, even though I do see where you're coming from.

I think you're going to be just fine.
Great advice Pro, that fits me to a T. :)

Thank you. That makes the most sense. There is equity now, there wasn't when we got married. They are trying to list it 25k+ under value to sell it quick. With my calculations it would be almost 9k for 1/4.
well, if it sells before the divorce is filed, your "share" is going to be based on realized profit as his estate will be increased by that. If divorce is filed first, you can argue for 1/4 of equity, even if they sell it at a discounted rate for whatever reason. No guarantee your argument will be accepted but I would hope it would be as that is what you would be due.
