This sucks at 58

If I were you, I would counter offer, let her keep the house (better for you mentally to start over anyway) .. but in return... you keep 50% of its value (based on most recent property tax) in your pension/investments.

So, if the house is worth $200k and you have $500k in pension/investments... she would only get $150k worth of them instead of $250k

THAT seems like a fair deal.

If you cant get AT LEAST that... might I suggest antifreeze?

Sounds like pretty good advice to me.

I am surprised it took 65 posts for that suggestion.
