I am finally wrapping up my divorce. My husband worked for an oil company and has about 8000 shares of stock. I am receiving almost half as well as half his pension. I also am buying him out of the house so our children can remain in their home. I do not have the money to do this, so it will be a stock transfer. I will be giving him stock that equates to the buyout. I am hoping to refinance but I am worried about being able to. My question is this, if I am unable to refinance the mortgage and have to sell stock to payoff my home, what will the tax situation be? I only make $32000 a year.
