    You cannot sort out anything, unless you ex agrees to the arrangments.

    Do you both agree to selling the house and clearing the debt as the priority?

    Or does she want to remain in the house? Where are she and the kids going to live afterwards?

    You probably should both spend £50 seeing a lawyer to check the financial agreement is fair, watertight and workable.

    My divorce is going to cost a max of £3.5k. I am going through a similar divorce to you. Children and property involved. I am divorcing my ex and have since January 2010.
    Make sure that you go through mediation to arrange financial costs and child arrangements. This cuts the cost of solicitors, but needs you and your ex to be on reasonable terms and to discuss your needs. If this is not possible then it will be solicitors dealing with this.
