Division of 401K and refinancing house in divorce?

I am
currently
in the process of getting divorced and I am trying to buy out my house
from
my husband. Here are the facts:

We paid $270K about 12 years ago. We refinanced many times, at this
point
the house is worth about 700K and there is 12 years of a 15 year mtg
remaining. The rate was 4.75%. For me to buy out the house I would
need
to give hime the equivelant of 531K from savings,investments and 401K.
Our joint 401K is valued at $468K. My lawyer is telling me that it
will
probably be valued at only 60-80% (depending on the settlement) of its
worth because it has not been taxed yet.

My first instinct was to keep the current mtg with its monthly pymt of
about $1540 and give him pretty much all the 401K. That way my payment
would be untouched. But now I am thinking that I shd refinance the
house
and take out the remaining $110K that I will owe him. I t seems a 2nd
mtg
at this time will cost about 7% so that does not appear to be a good
option, and the problem with that is that my payment becomes to hefty
for
my income, and on the other hand I give away my retirement nest egg.
Can
you give some financing alternatives?

Have you thought about him getting the house and you getting the money, then you can purchase another house for the money you have and can afford. Don't rush into this. I did really well with this idea.

I think you need to look into the reason of why you want to keep your house? I would say sell the damn thing, split the profit, keep your nest egg for retirement(you'll need it). Buy something more affordable for you. Pay with cash from the sell. No house payment, fewer worries.
