<prompt> Human: So, I am going through a divorce, and shit just got real. Some info first:Late 20s Male, making approx 31,000yr. currently have a house with Soon-to-be EX She moved out with about 180k left on the mortgage. Currently renting out the empty rooms in the house for an extra 1200 monthly. Monthly Bills: 1500 Mortgage 140 PGE 52 Trash 150 CellHome Internet 62 Car Insurance 320 Counseling 120 Gas 100 Food ? Water I have yet to pay this, bill arrives in may and covers several months NO other Debts using parents extra car Approx 2500 a month all values were rounded up to the nearest dollar for simplicity Now that thats out of the way, My boss just told me that he cant have me coming into work anymore due to tension. my STBX works at the same company and I unfortunately discovered that her and a coworker have a thing going. Despite her causing all of this mess, She is essentially 3rd from the top of the company and has said that as long as I dont follow the company out of state when they move, she will leave me the house without taking her half of the equity, as long as lawyers dont get involved. She left me all the house furnishings and major appliances as well, and has only taken a few things from the house, as well as the car. My ex-Boss says he will talk to his business owner friends and get me interviews, and that I can use him as a reference and he will do good by me and try to get me at least what I was making when I worked for him, but with everything still so up in the air, I really need advice. I have a few interviews this week that I was able to get on my own that pay based on experience, so I should be able to at least make what I was before, but obviously I would need to land the job in the first place, so I cant count on that just yet. I have enough of an emergency fund to last about 6 months, not counting the roommate income, and assuming no job. Should I continue to tread water and hold on to the house in hopes that my STBX and I can finish the divorce amicably? theres around 60k in equity built since we bought it 3 years ago. Assuming I get a job around 30kyr again, what changes should I make in order to get my finances back on track? Can I even afford this house assuming I get a 30kyr job and keep my roommates? I really want to keep the house, and Im trying to view selling it and splitting the equity 5050 as a last resort.Thank you all for reading and for any advice for this trainwreck I call my life!Edit 1 Holy cow, sorry about the formatting, i thought enters would space things out like in word, ill try to figure it out so it will look more like a list. Sorry, still an novice poster.Edit 2 Formatted a bit better for readability  <response>: Yep. At least get advice from a lawyer. You will almost inevitably end up getting one and the sooner you do the better. From what Ive seen people often back out of amicable verbal agreements. Lawyer up hard and pay for some rock solid advice. Im the least you need to get her offer Im writing, which will need to have legal documents drawn up, so yep, get a lawyer.
