Considering your dad's salary is a waaaay higher than your mom's and yours combined, he should pay more. From one point of view - you're 18 already and that doesn't qualify as kid he must to feed or something, but from other side - go and talk to your dad like a man. Heck, hit him once, if you should.

Where do you live? I mean city?

as a gesture of sympathy to a fellow almost Russian, I suggest learning to win at poker

[/ QUOTE ]He isn't an "almost Russian". He probably speaks Russian fluently and is obviously an ex-Soviet citizen, but calling him an "almost Russian" is quite inaccurate. This is akin to calling Russians "almost Germans" if by an unlucky turn of fate the Nazis would have won the WW2 (Goodwin's law FTW).

OP - what I would do given the Latvian probably-bubble real estate scene is:
a) have your dad pay for half the apartment and refinance the loan only in the name of your mom (that is pure profit)
b) THEN have your mom sell the apartment for $80k (would be tricky in this market, but this is the time to sell IMHO) OR refinance it to a 20 year loan
c) rent an apartment and then buy one later after the real estate market crashes OR buy a smaller apartment further from the center
d) $600 a month isn't that great any more; maybe your mom can shop around for better offers. Now is the time to look btw, not in a month or two.

Also:
e) Have your mom consider her relationship with your dad a "civil marriage" (look that up) and he gets to pay alimony I think.

DO NOT think of poker as a near-term solution; frankly you're not very good at it and it will take a while for you to get better at it. Lotteries are completely retarded.

Good luck; and I mean it.

P.S. Bonus advice - change your screen name and avatar to something less "Latvian".

How much does 18 yr old boy ass go for over there?

if you really dedicate yourself to the game and have half a brain (not sure that applies given the lottery option) then its not at all unrealistic for you to go from say $100 to 10k in a year playing poker.

1. Save up to rent another apartment.
2.Place add in newspaper "Apartment to Let".
3.Show to as many people as possible and take their deposits.Give them all a key.
4.Move to Sweeden.
5.Invade Russia.
6.Sell your Mom.
7.Do the lottery.
