Tentative, still has to go through the court system. But he's taking the house, only 25% of my retirement account, and no alimony. It's actually more than I wanted, because I'm not getting stuck with the house. It looks like I'll be divorced by the end of April. Holy shit.
Does this mean that he buys your half of the house from you?

This is such great news.
What will you be doing will all of your extra money once you get to stop paying for his ass? Might I suggest rolling around it in Scrooge McDuck style?
I want to be happy for you, but I must admit I'm FURIOUS that the asshole got anything at all. What the hell, court of law, I thought you were all in justice's side.
But I'm SO glad this is fucking over. Because damn.
Sorry to ask yet more house questions - is he purchasing the home from you, since it's in your name? Or does he get it outright as part of the settlement? Or would he take over mortgage payments?
I went through a cheapy intermediary when I got divorced, and it caused me about 500 bucks. We had nothing to split. I'm sorry this has been such a shitty shitty process, but I am BEYOND excited for you that it is over!
He has until April 30th to refinance in his name, or his name and a third party- his parents have agreed to cosign. There's nothing to buy me out of- we owe slightly more than the house is worth. I'm happy that I get to just walk away from it.
