To not kill you, if he can manage that.

This depends on many factors. For example, if he gets the kids, the net result will likely be that you owe him. As for keeping the house, can you afford it with your salary? A major determining factor is the state that you live in. If you live in a fault state, you may not be entitled to anything if you decide to divorce and their is no fault on the part of your husband. Marriage law is 100% state law, and each state varies widely. If you are really considering divorce, you should go talk to an attorney in your jurisdiction first.

1st. See an attorney. Divorce law varies from state ot state. But in general, his obligation is 1st to his kids. Assuming you as the mother would be granted custody of your 2 minors, child support would be approx. $100 per week per kid, until 18 yrs. old. You may want the house but may not be able to afford the house. Only $20K in equity after 21 years?? If a divorce is based on irreconcilable differences then don't expect alimony. If its based on infidelity then you may have a position. Although at a combined income of approx. $75K per year, you're not exactly living high on the hog..and that goes directly towards maintaining a (previous to divorce) standard of living. Courts typically will uphold the 50/50 rule..that includes debt as well..You may get the 10K of equity in the house that would be his.. A couple more years before the kids are out...do you really think you'd be better off?
