Hi,
Have another question....
Have to settle the child placement issue first, but then the property settlement becomes the issue. I want to keep the house (buy him out), I think he's going to be vindictive and want the house too. I was the one who filed, do I have the right to make the offer of a buyout first? How does this work? He tells people he wants the house, but he's starting to pack stuff to move out. Any knowledge or experiences would be helpful
Thanks

There are a lot of factors to consider, such as state law and local precident, it's best to ask an attorney.
