Me and ex wife’s divorce never mentioned the marital home. I’d like to get my equity out of it as I’m no longer living in it and haven’t for years. We’ve been divorced for years now. She has primary custody of our 3 kids on paper but we have been doing 50/50 and it’s been working great. She told me she won’t agree to put that in writing unless I stop all actions I have regarding the marital home. Most of the increase in the homes worth is market appreciation controlled by neither party. I have court next year to get 50/50 on paper. But I’m wondering how she’ll be viewed for what she’s said about the house and time with the kids. Also curious how the house situation has gone down for others who handled shared property years later.

We have temporary school year 50/50, but with one party working full time over the summer, I’m curious how that would look. Neither party wants full time daycare because of cost for one party and the fact that the other party is close by and could care for the child. I’ve heard about 50/50 school year plans and primary placement over the summer. Does anyone have that? What’s that look like? Thanks!

So I have about 20k in direct loans. I qualify for PSLF. I’m about 5 years into that. Paying $300 monthly. However, I’m on a standard repayment plan, meaning the loans will be paid off in 10 years regardless.

In order to take advantage of PSLF, should I consolidate my loans and go on an income based plan? Or do I not have to consolidate to do that? I’d rather PSLF cover most of it and have a lower monthly payment.

Thanks in advance!
