does it make sense to buy a house in my situation?

there are many other good answers here, but i just wanted to note that it could be dangerous to rely on the changes in alimony and child support that you've mentioned. you have no way of predicting if your ex will lose her job or take the kids back more of the time. if you already have a house and mortgage and all of a sudden alimony and child support go up again, you could be in big trouble. congrats on everything getting better, it sounds like you're dealing well with a crappy situation. good luck!
