62 more days to go. I met my then-future husband in the state where I grew up and was practicing law. His work took him to another state and I accompanied him after we got married. I’ve been a stay at home mom all this time — 13 years. He makes a good living but he’s a compulsive debtor. I kept us afloat with my inheritance — over $100,000. We’re in the middle of a divorce and it looks like our house will have to be sold because I cannot get a mortgage in my own name due to my not having a two-year work history.  I love my house and our daughter loves our house — it’s paradise — and it didn’t cost too much. I have no assets of my own anymore, so I can’t get a mortgage to buy anything. I’m 50 years old and if I die then he can get the house and my daughter can continue to live in it. He can well afford it.

I’d say a house is secondary to a home, and a home starts with people who love you (eg. a mother). But I won’t disagree that your situation is difficult. Wish I could be of assistance. Perhaps somebody with an understanding of divorce and spousal support/alimony.
The irony is that I became a lawyer because I can’t stomach seeing people being treated unfairly. Now I find myself in a situation which is so unfair, so wrong.
