Staying in family home after divorce with little money

[Lostwords]

Thinking through if we divorce and the kids and I stay in the family home, which currently my husband and I co-own outright with no mortgage. At this stage I certainly can’t afford to buy my husband out. His parents can/will help him to but/rent a new home. He could retain his share of our house if he’s willing to do this. Would I then be responsible for paying all the household bills? Currently I’m not employed, I’m at home full time with our young kids. If/when I get a job he’ll still earn about double what my salary would be. Just not sure what the financial arrangements might look like! Thanks.

No one can tell you with such little information

If yiu are allowed to stay in the home ( and I don’t think courts favour very long mesher orders) then I think it likely you’ll be expected to pay for all costs

However, you need to get a view of all assets and work out split of those as well as any claims to spousal maintenance.

Courts prefer Clean break if possible

Yes you'd be expected to pay your own household costs. How old are your kids and how much does your ex hubby earn?

Yes, if you live in the house you would be expected to cover all costs and household bills.

As another poster said. The courts have an obligation to consider a clean break.
