You may want to keep the house, but what will you have to give up for it?

Might you need a lump sum from a 401(k) you're receiving from your spouse but you're not of retirement age? There is one opportunity while divorcing to receive a lump sum penalty-free.

There are lots of ways to divide property 50/50, but which scenario serves you and your spouse best? Do you need liquidity, retirement, are you receiving the house? What might you have to give up to get what you're asking for?

Community or Marital Property are treated very differently than Separate Property in divorce.
