Stacy: Sorry this happening to you. I have been divorced 8 years and got the house due to a back injury and lack of money to move/pay rent at the time. Our daughter was an 18 year old college student at the time living at home with me. My Lawyer said it is rare for the house not to be sold in a divorce situation and that it is lucky I got the house. Also, if you are awarded the house you would have to ask yourself whether or not you can afford to maintain it - to do the things the Landlord would normally do.
