I am going through a divorce and I want to buy out my ex

Questioner

I am going through a divorce and I want to buy out my ex and I have the capital to do so. She wants to sell the house because of the equity. There are also 4 children involved and I think it is better to keep the parental home, so that the children only have to move once and do not lose their belongings. We currently live in a single-family home. If he has to be sold, we'll both end up in a small apartment. What to do next, we can't agree on anything.

If you are able to buy it, that option should also be possible. For your ex it will not make any difference whether it is sold to a third party or to you, because you will then have to pay her her share of the equity. I agree with you that it is better for the children if they can remain in the parental home (partly or not). If you already have a lawyer in the divorce proceedings, this can be included in that. Otherwise, you can contact me if you wish so that I can perhaps assist you with that.
