Me? Absolutely. And I make a decent-ish (edit: idk ‘lower-ish’) middle class income. I’m afraid, actively, at spending a couple hundred or a thousand dollars on home upkeep items. I’m afraid, and anxious about paying more for a lawyer in the divorce. I’m afraid and anxious about my wife seeking equity, which isn’t a real or realistic number, in the divorce compared to paid mortgage which is real and measurable. I’m afraid and anxious about my finances and how she hasn’t contributed to the house or her 401K or our investment account in any way for months but expects what she feels like she’s entitled to. I’m afraid and anxious that she might wager equity against lawyering up.
But, in the end… my buy-out offer to retain the house WILL be better than what she gets from trying to sue for equity, after repairs, closing costs, and contested lawyer fees. And that, that puts a smile on my face.
