I have been given our house to live in. SBTX has rented a house. He has all of our money tied up in 2 businesses. I have a part time job, he runs business. Of course, he pays himself a VERY low paycheck. His child support is based on that. I don’t receive much. He has been ordered to pay house pmt. I pay house bills. How long will I be able to live in house. It will most likely take a long time to sell. If I had to pay the pmt, I could not even come close, nor can I afford to rent a place. Will the courts take this into consideration, or will I be moving out since he is able to make the payment. I am hoping to keep this arrangement until it sells.
