"Our starter home had four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and was an almost 3,000-square-foot home. I had my own garden, an office, and all three of my children had their own rooms, as well as an upstairs playroom. We were also in a really great school district. The home really was a dream come true. Unfortunately, by 2020, our marriage was coming to an end."
"Once I finally got to a point where I was ready to divorce, my emotions were so heightened that all of my common sense kind of went out of the window. I can't speak for him, but in that moment, I wasn't thinking about the long-term vision. During the divorce, he agreed to take whatever he had, and I agreed to take whatever I had."
In 2019, Keaidy Bennett and her then-husband purchased a nearly 3,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bath home in Fort Worth, Texas, for $222,000 using down payment assistance available to veterans. The house included a garden, an office, individual bedrooms for each child, an upstairs playroom, and access to a strong school district. By 2020, the marriage began to end, and Bennett moved in with her mother. During the divorce in 2021, the couple decided to sell the house and split the proceeds after hiring a real estate attorney. Bennett later regretted selling the home as local home prices increased.
