What will happen in this court case?

No. It won’t end on his next court date. Picked a fine time to divorce. If they own the house out right, like no mortgage and only property/school tax then one of them will have to buy the other out of the house and it’s a sucky time because home values are inflated right now. It’s a sellers market.

So they would have to have the house appraised, which is why this is not going to end by October, and let’s say for example, the house comes back worth $200k, one has to come up with $100k to buy the other person out.

This is why people press to sell all assets bc someone is going to feel like they’re getting f**ked.

It’s just easier to sell everything, put it all into an escrow account and once everything is sold, they both take their half and start over somewhere else. But that’s just the easiest, fairest way to do it.

Mind you, we’re not talking child support which that is a completely different story and a different court room.

Being that the child is a 16 year old teen, they could spilt the time equally and neither one pays child support, just both parents continue to co-parent with one another to make sure the needs are met of their child in common.
Buuut, beings the mother makes less, then the husband should pay a small amount to the mother for his child’s time with her to keep the quality of life balanced between the two parents in the best interest of their child. And it’s just something the parents could agree too like 50-75 bucks a week, whatever they can agree too and it doesn’t sound like the mother is trying to High ball the father for the money. So don’t be all about the money if ya not all about the kid. But it never makes sense to the one who has to pay support even with shared time, the child is already becoming a product of divorce and shouldn’t be made to lessen the quality of his life just because a parent who makes more doesn’t feel it’s fair to pay the mother while on “her” time but it’s actually about, the child’s time and the child receiving the same quality care and support as if the two were still a pair but their not, and so the child should not have to suffer due to their parents decision to divorce. It’s not the child’s fault. Period.

Again, that’s just the easiest, fairest way to do it.

Ofcourse this is all in a “perfect world” where people actually get along.

But, see ya in court!
Try to fight nicely, if you can keep things out of court, it saves money, especially if the two can get one attorney to oversee everything and then, their Attorney fees would be cut in half and more money to start over with!

But AGAIN, in a perfect world.

P.S.
Tell your Boyfriend don’t be a douche bag if the mother is already giving a ridiculously low figure bc she could say, “F**k you, I’ll do better in court!” And this could go on for 3+years and by the time they settle, or sell the house, the kids 18 but boyfriend will have paid pay full support throughout this whole thing, his attorney fees, loss of time from work-less pay for him, and part of the bills of the marital or family home, unless you want a foreclosure on his credit and then neither you of you will have anything to start over with but bad credit, debt and no money. And the only ones who made money out of it will be the lawyers and they’ll be on vacation with their families down in the Caribbean’s with your money! Lol! And that’s just how it works.
Good luck and god bless!

Child support is separate from divorce. Whole different court.

Likely to be dragged out in court as long as the lawyers are getting paid.

Some states are community property. Assets are divided. Child support would be awarded to the custodial parent who has them most of the time.

They will have to have the house appraised and sell it and split the home equity. Or the other person can buy them out. If they were married over 10 years he could possibly owe alimony if she requests based on her income. If they agree on custody child support will be based on the higher income and medical insurance.

Visitation/child support court is separate from divorce court even though doing it all together would be ideal. I bet he’ll be able to keep the house since he can afford it. Just be an ear to listen for him if he’s stressed. Depending on the state, here in Illinois, they go by both parents income to determine how much is paid for c.s.

I know you think you mean well. Be his ear… just listen… but seriously you are a gf to a married man. Him and his wife are divorcing… it’s going to most likely get very ugly. Both will be petty at times. Good luck… best advice. Stay out of it… when the $h!# gets deep… run.

Stay out of it. That’s what’s next. You stay out of it. Sheesh.

She has a house? He has a house? They will probably each get a house ( that’s what happened to me). Good luck

The house will have to be appraised and one will have to buy the other out or they sell and split the money.

If he just had his first court date and there are marital assets and children involved and they are not agreeing on how to split things it’s not cut and dry and it could take months maybe even yrs. No it wont be over at the next hearing. The next hearing will likely be a status hearing to see that progress is being made between the partys. The ultimate goal is to get people to agree amongst themselves so a judge doesnt have too. Each state has a max amount of time divorce proceedings can take here in Wisconsin it is 2 yrs.

They will most likely have to sell the house and split the assets since they both want it.

The advice would be, stay out of someone else’s divorce. You can’t even begin to know or understand everything they have been through over the last 17+ years. Of course she wants the house! Wouldn’t you?

Just stay out of it entirely tbh let it run its course. Anything court related tends to be dragged out by the courts anyway.

Personally I haven’t experienced this but if it is in writing, an amiccable divorce will proceed accordingly, for instance, you agree to one half of everything. Well, that’s easier, but still complicated. A lawyers worst nightmare is figuring out how much his record collection and her art collection is. You have to agree on a number, on both sides. If either party disagrees, you then have to petition the court on the grounds that it’s unfair and contrary to the original agreement. I am not an attorney. I just watch a LOT of ‘Law & Order’.

Child support is a whole different matter than the divorce itself. I’m not sure what state you’re in but this can go on for a while! Of they can’t come to a decision ultimately the judge will make the decision for them. She does have a right to spousal support! He will have to maintain her as he had during the marriage. Once the house situation is settled it takes about a year to finalize the divorce. This is just the beginning girl! Divorce’s get ugly!! I’ve been there and done that. I’d give you some advice to stay out of it. His daughter maybe an adult by the time it’s done.
