<prompt> Human: Hey. I dont know if this belongs here. But Im having trouble figuring how much my ex should get after selling our my apartment...Today its valued at 48,0. We have to pay our loans which are 19,3. The realtor charges 1,2 percent. Intially, when buying the place, she took care of the down payment, or 23 of the buying price, since I didnt really have any savings. Weve agreed on that she keeps theese 23, and the rest well split down 5050. Now, what Im wondering is, should I subtract these 23 or 13,3 from the selling price along with the loans and relators commission BEFORE dividing the rest between us two? Or should she get 61,5 and me 38,5 only AFTER subtracting loans and commission from the selling price..? With the first method, I will get around 8,5. The second, I will get 10,5 or so. Which is actually quite a lot of money... Hope this makes sense.EDIT: I might mention I made almost double the amount she got from here salary...  <response>: The way I see it, she gets back the same dollar amount she put in for the downpayment. Then pay off what is owed for loan, costs and commissions - whatever profit is left is split equally. It shouldnt matter when it comes out - she gets back her initial investment, the two of you split the rest of the proceeds that dont have to go back to costs.
