One last bump for this topic.  I'm meeting with someone today about the partnership agreement.  I'm just looking for any more perspectives and ideas.  I hope I'm not beating a dead horse.  Thanks again.

Thank you for the reply, Bob.  I do appreciate it.  I think that the divorce would be classified as amicable.  I will look into the partnership agreement.  Does anybody else have perspectives or experience they would like to share?  Are there any other potential pitfalls I should be aware of, particularly pertaining to the low income that I show for myself?

Thank you, again, Bob, and anyone else reading.

Hello BP folks,

My wife and I are going to be filing for divorce.  We have a duplex and a single-family home with mother-in-law apartment that we currently own together.  She is living in one of the units of the duplex and I am living in the mother-in-law in the single family.  The other spaces are rented out.

The issue is that these deals were largely made possible by her income.  I contributed just as much money to the deal, but the taxes show her income as much higher than mine.  I'm worried about how to proceed with the situation.  I'm certain there are some pretty good opinions here on BP to help me know what to expect.

One more thing: the duplex was refinanced into a VA loan which is my perk, since I'm the veteran. Does this complicate things?

Is joint ownership viable in this case?  Other ideas I'm not thinking about?  We'd both like to keep joint ownership.

Thank you for reading and thank you for contributing.  Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
