I need someone's advice about Travel Nursing & what type of housing they can get.
Long story short stbxw is wanting to be a travel nurse.
She can then go off to other cities & live their for 13 weeks at the time. I think their housing is either free or they get a stipend. Either way, it works out great for them.
She & I have a mortgage together on our home, it is about $2000 a month.
Her suggestion is that she pays me $400 a month for 9 months max.
She feels this is fair since this is what she paid when we were living together for the utilities & cable tv.
I'm trying to get a feel how this even looks like to others.
So anyone that is a nurse or knows a nurse, please help me in what the housing is for a travel nurse.
Thanks
here is my situation:

Hey Jeff,
So I decided to run the agreement over with a lawyer to help me understand it. He basically talked to me about home selling options, since that's really all we have to settle between us.
He said that since the house is prob worth about $185k per zillow.com, that we could just put it on the market ourselves and try to sell it...and take anything over $180k and split the difference between us. This option would at least save our credit. He says a quick sell is usually only granted if the owners have not paid the mortgage for at least 6 mos. And we would still owe money at the end anyway. There will be no profit/proceeds for us with this sell. I can send you $400/mo to go towards the mortgage every month until we sell the house, but we need to agree on a loss that we will split. Like...we agree to accept any offer of $180k and over so we can get out from under this house. Then we would split what is still owed. But we have to agree on something that is reasonable because I don't want to be bound to sending $400/mo for years while the house goes unsold because we set the price too high...that's not smart...it will end up costing us both more in the long run if we do that. I came up with $400 because its the average cost of the cable and utilities I was paying. I can keep you on my cell plan and keep paying that until I can stop the $400/mo. If we don't agree on a reasonable selling price, then I'd want to put a cap on how long I send the monthly $400....like 9 mos or something...we will come up with an agreed time frame..
I agree with everything else...keep what was ours...keep our own 401k, no alimony, split household items/assets, be responsible for our own cars and payments, split IVF refund...the tax refund for 2011 was put towards the IVF though...so at this point its part of the same sum that will be the IVF refund...
I plan on talking with my travel nurse recruiter today and finding out the details of that, but I hope to be doing that by Oct...will figure out living arrangements. You should move back in the house ASAP though...like I said...I will try to be out by mid Sept...like the 18th.
Tell me what you think. I also want this to be as fair as possible without dragging the home selling out for longer than is needed.
