The refinance on the house should be done today! My banker told me STBX's name is off the title. My home is now really mine. A humble home, nothing fancy, but my children were raised there, I've planted flowers, we play in the yard.
Bitter sweet I guess but it's time to make some new "good" memories.
Just had to share. Thanks!

Congratulations. I know how good that feels. When we refinanced and got my ex's name off of the house, it was WONDERFUL. Very liberating and secure at the same time.
Enjoy your home!

I say you make that house your own.
Paint the master bedroom walls the colors of the rainbow, put a crazy colored quilt on the bed(make sure you get rid of that married bed). Eat cookies and crackers with the kids while watching sunday AM cartoons in your newly renovated bedroom, get a cat or dog to share your new bed.
Throw away the microwave and take a cooking class on how to make fast food.... buy that Kick A$$ set of knives(you know the ones..Henkle comes to my minds eye) and tell the kids you'll use them on their favorite toy if you ever see catch them using them for a screw driver.
Take candles, a good book and a glass of wine into the bathroom and "DO" a 3 hr bath. If you have any male children and more than one toilet make your favorite bathroom a sit down only zone. Male child may use said bath if he promises to sit????
Who was it that once said those that take care of their inner child can raise well adjusted children???
Jer-Queen of 3 hr baths and sharing her bed with pets. My "landhoard" wont let me paint the walls any color other than white.

Well I'm not there yet - but I am getting close. I was stupid, I bought the house and like an idiot I put him on it. But he has agreed to sign a quit claim next week (in front of the mediator) and he will have 30 days to get out!! He took the master bedroom 6 months ago (I pay the mortgage and all the bills) he has paid nothing in years. It really makes me mad. But I will get the house, I planted yellow roses (my favorite) and they are blooming this week. I am so looking forward to this Christmas without him here. It will be the first Merry Christmas we have had in a long time.
Enjoy your freedom.
Yeah for you!!!! I am so happy for you!!! Fancy is overrated. A home is those flowers you planted, the connection to your children, your memories past and, most importantly, future. Make it your own.
