I have been married for 24 years and about to get divorced. My husband has been in control of the money all these years, or as he puts it, "handling the finances". He has a 401K, Pension Plan and has worked for 17 years. He has proposed several options that he is willing to abide with. One of them is to let me keep the house(which has about 140-170 in equity) and he will reluctantly pay about 1000 a month for two children. He does not want me to have his 401k, Pension or receive any alimony. My gross income (as a teacher), is about 2, 140.00. and I have only been working 6 months (I was a stay at home mom), and have no retirement or pension being deducted or accumulated at this time. My question is, "Should I keep the house and somehow try to pay the mortgage and all expenses (3,200.00)and perhaps sell it in the future? OR Should I insist on keeping the house plus alimony OR Should I agree to sell the house, split the equity, and fight for alimony and move into an apartment (with four children) and perhaps make some sort of investment/ Dear Suze,

I went ahead and posted them to my blog. While I see that some people have issues with Suze Orman or her methods, I think they might benefit those new to the PF arena (possibly those in their 20's).
