<prompt> Human: Im looking to get some opinions regarding what to do with my house following a pending divorce. My wife and I are getting divorced in the near future; everything is amicable and we are still friends, just have decided wed probably be happier going our seperate ways. No kids, and no debt joint or otherwise other than mortgage on our home.We purchased the home just over two years ago in a location very convenient to getting on the train for my job. We live in one of the most expensive metro areas in the country USA. We currently have 28 years left on the mortgage at 4 fixed rate w a current balance of 675k; the house realistically can probably be sold for about 900k. Our current mortgage payment per month is 4150.My current financial situation is as follows: I work for the federal govt in a position I enjoy so I have a very steady job and very unlikely to get laid off or something. Im maxing my TSP Govt version of a 401k - max contribution is 18,500year. My take home income after the TSP contribution and taxeshealth insurance, etc is 3000 every 2 weeks.My current assets are as follows:High-Yield savings account - 110k I know this is not ideal, separate issue I will be working on once I resolve this divorceDividend focused stock holdings - 95kTSP401k Balance - 200kOur initial plan was to just sell the house, split the equity and move on. However, now as I look at what Ill likely be paying for rent at an apartment, etc, Im wondering if I should consider just holding on to the house for awhile and paying the whole mortgage myself. My wife has similar assets and makes more than me and I think would be amenable just letting her 12 of the equity sit in the house until I sell it sometime in the future.Realistically, Im looking at between 2400 and 2600 a month for a nicer 1 bedroom apartment parking spot a comparable distance from work. Obviously, paying 4150month on my own is way more than Id normally be comfortable paying, but even at this early stage of the 30 yr mortgage 1000 of that is against principal on the loan so to some degree Im paying myself that portion of the mortgage payment. I would still be maxing my TSP401k contribution so Id still be saving for retirement, even though my liquid reserves and stock holdings would probably not grow at all while Im in this situation. I dont have any other debt other than the mortgage.Further making me think about keeping the house is that, in theory, for my career progression I probably need to transfer at some point in the next few years somewhere away from my organizations HQ. If I do this it would be a cost transfer so the government will pay my transfer costs, including realtor fees to sell the house, etc...even with a really crappy budget realtor, we are looking at realtor fees of 30k to 40k if we sell the house at 900,000, which the government will pay if I take a cost transfer for work...I feel like it would really suck to move out now, pay the realtor fee, pay for movers, etc, only to then transfer in 2 or 3 years and miss out on the government covering all that for me.Id love any advice or perspective anyone can provide. Edit: Im 37 years old in case that impacts anyones thoughts.  <response>: My wife has similar assets and makes more than me and I think would be amenable just letting her 12 of the equity sit in the house until I sell it sometime in the futureYeah, thats a terrible thing to do. Make the loan bigger and pay her off, you dont want any strings left after the divorce is done.
