If my husband is a vet and we have been married almost 2 years and he wants a divorce, can I keep our house if it was financed through the VA?

We just bought the house 3 months ago through the VA and I want to keep it so I don’t have to uproot my kids. Is there anyway I will be able to keep the house? I am in school.

Whether or not you are able to keep the home that you occupy per the dissolution proceedings you have written about depends upon the mind set of your spouse and whether or not you can service its debt load on a monthly basis after the assets of your marriage are divided by agreement or per a court order.

From what you have written, I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney for assistance with your matter.
