And it appears as though she has arbitrarily decided to decrease your ss.
How was your ss calculation arrived at? Difference in incomes alone does not make an entitlement for ss. What were the arguments your lawyer used to demand $1600 monthly ss?
All that said, it really has nothing to do with the fact that you have one big asset remaining to divide - the house. I think you get that you are entitled to a 50% interest, as is she. For the last 2 years, you have had the entire benefit of that asset.
You had posted in the past about differences in appraisals - have you moved a final determination of value forward at all?Start a discussion, not a fire. Post with kindness.

You have found the right place to learn, only you know your circumstance - your lawyer only knows what you tell him/her so you need to remember that this is your case, your lawyer is there to help you but you can't leave your future in the hands of a person to whom you know little to nothing about (your lawyer and if you are lucky you knew all the right questions to ask a lawyer before putting down your retainer ------If you caught on with the previous phrase "if you are lucky you knew all the right questions": Luck has nothing to do with this and two; you will never know all the right questions.
The other thing that is hard for many, is the court doesn't care about the feelings you have, how you feel your ex didn't do "_____"; what they do care about is the children, best interests of same and wether you will be able to communicate with your ex to take care of your children in their new family structure. Oh, and truth has little to with the courts, only care about what can be proven and to what degree. Lawyers are said to love the feelings aspect, this is where the fees can escalate faster than you knew was possible! You are lucky if you have found one of those rare individuals that will actually watch what is worth their fees and to tell the client "Stop, you can't win this or that - so move on". What you will see here a lot is how members ran out of money, can't afford to keep the lawyer going and they must go the very difficult self rep route. (then there is nobody to fall back on but yourself so you would need to commit to what might be a full time job plus overtime to prepare......)
