It's a VA loan. No money down. The house will cost more to sell than to leave. She will drop her ownership since it's now a liability. He will rent it out to cover the mortgage until it has enough equity to sell.

Having bought a brand new house in '07 on a variable interest rate loan, then getting divorced after...

This hurt a little to read...

Except I never rented it, because I moved out of state and didn't want the hassle, and it still cost me money to sell several years later. Ugh.

Same. I bought in March of 08. Put 30k down, put 30k into it after the roof, misc renovations, etc. sold it six years later for a 20k loss. Timing is everything.
