You need to retain a highly experienced matrimonial attorney. This is going to be an expensive process and it will almost certainly require a consultation and document review.

My question is, if we miss a couple of months of rent and pay off all of our debt (credit cards, etc) will this effect our home purchasing options? I don't want to not pay rent or not work with them, but this seems like the only way for us to be able to get our credit to a good enough standing.
