Judging by the insult you got I assumed it was the O.P that had the problem but using the "friend" option to cover up.

Whatever whoever it is does they need to do it right away, staying together just to avoid the House problem is a daft idea.

I got out over 20 years ago.. 50 . 50 split including the kids.
