Chapter 1: What should I do if my ex is on the deed of my house?
Good. How are you doing?
Good, good. Okay, so I own a home. I purchased it five and a half years ago. I purchased it because I was pregnant with my son. And at the time, my son's father and I, we were just dating. We never married. I... somehow got him on the deed of the home unknowingly at the time that that's what was happening. I asked the lender if he could be on the house in some way. She added him to the deed.
I did not realize that until two years in when I refinanced my house and we were at the time ending our relationship. He moved out and he has,
held the deed over my head since then and will not take his name off um so it's been a few years since we've separated and we went through custody court and he told me that if i gave him full custody of our son he would take his name off the house and he i would owe him no money um and then We had another mediation, and he said if I paid him $100,000, then he would take his name off.
So I'm going to pay him to get off the house, but what I'm trying to understand is how much does he actually get? What is a fair offer? That's up to you and the lawyers.
I mean, there's no math formula here. What did he put down with the house when you guys bought it?
Nothing.
So he put down nothing. Did he make half the mortgage payments?
He did make half the mortgage payments for the two years he lived there, and he helped pay the taxes for those two years. That's what I would do. So I have offered him. Yeah, I offered to pay. He put in about $24,000, but he wants $100,000. He said, I will not take anything less.

Chapter 2: How do I handle family pressure about debt repayment?
I have a sense that you guys have separate finances. You got your accounts and he has his accounts. Am I right?
That's partially true. Yeah, we do have a joint account that we kind of just throw money into.
The joint account is here's what I'm comfortable sharing as part of my life. And then you have separate accounts that go, this is none of your business. Right? Right. I'm my own man.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you're just chuckling, just like, this is just fantastic. This is normal. Everything's fine. My husband's not telling me what he's got in his account.
I don't know how much debt he has. I don't know what he makes, and I'm on my journey. You said my journey. That sounds like a solo journey. You're about to go eat, pray, love while he does his thing.
Yeah, Paige, we are not. George and I are, well, George is in a bad mood, but he's always in a slightly bad mood.
I'm cantankerous. I'm in a great mood.
I'm in a great mood today. We're not trying to be dark, but there's nothing funny about what you're telling us.
