Where will foot3x gonna live?

I'd expect final splitting of assets to take at least a year, maybe more, unless she's suddenly become super-cooperative (I know, I know.) So I think you'll have to come up with a slightly more permanent temporary solution than the back of a truck. I would look into more sublets and rooms-within-otherwise-occupied houses. Craigslist is skeezy but there are good things hiding in there as well.

Or maybe, go to the person who owns the burst-pipe house. Tell him that the bank won't let you buy, but maybe you can work out some super-low (or free) lease wherein you fix up the pipes while you're living there, and also give you right of first refusal to buy it after it's fixed. I can't imagine there are a lot of people trying to buy a broken house, how long has it been on the market? He might go for it.
