My husband and I have been in a rough patch in our marriage. It has been an on and off thing for quite some time now. Argueing, name calling, acqusations, etc, etc. I'm sure a lot of you know the same type story. Well, I see us heading for divorce. We have been married for 36 years so I'm sure you understand why it is hard to just give up. But to be honest, I just can't live like this anymore. We have one child (son) who is 25, married with his own family so there are no support issues there. We have a house which we bought together, a travel trailer, and three vehicles (all in his name). He works for the Dept of Defense and so did I, but I retired 3 years ago. We don't have much debt, however, our credit is not that great due to when our son was 17 got into trouble over drugs and we had to spend most of our money on legal fees. During that time, things went to the devil in a handbasket so to speak, along with our credit rating. He spent 4 years in prison but since he came home has turned his life around and is doing wonderful. My concerns are if we do head to divorce court will I have to move out of the house until it is sold or would he move out? I would prefer to stay in the house since he makes more than I do because he is still working and all I have is retirement. I am not sure I would want to keep the house and I understand he would be entitled to half the proceeds when the house is sold. However, what about if I decide to buy him out, do some upgrades and then sell? The house is too big for one person. And to be honest I would prefer to move to a condo. As far as I am concerned there is no battle over anything. I just want out and live a peaceful life. As for the camper, it is paid for and I do not want it. As for the vehicles he said he was selling all but one. It is my understanding that he cannot leave me without a vehicle. Does that mean he would have to buy me one or give me funds to purchase one? I know he has a considerable sum of money in his accounts (we have separate accounts)and I do not have much in mine. We divide the household bills and have been for about 20 years. He also have a few CDs. Would he have to share them? I want this to be as simple as possible. I don't want to argue/fight over anything but I also don't want the short end of the stick. If I moved out of the house prior to the divorce, would that hurt my case? I would have to live with either my son and family or a friend as until everything is settled, I couldn't afford to pay rent. If anyone has any advice on this, please respond. Thanks.
