    Sadly, you simply cannot afford to live in this house. There is no way around this unless someone gives you money. Sort out your divorce and maintenance settlement and then look to buy something you can afford based on your new circumstances.

    ..... I am desperate to find a way to keep our home to minimise disruption and upset for my children and to try and give them as much stability and continuity as possible. I need to be creative, there has to be a way. Help please!!!

    Get a solicitor. Renegotiate your divorce settlement.

    Typical result; you get to live in the house until the youngest child hits 18.
