Separated 4+ years (how sad is that). We have accounts that are joint----anyone to sign (I know crazy--but neither of us have ever abused this--not much left in them). I would like to close my half (yes I would inform him--we have money sitting with real estate lawyer when we figure out financials)---(good news there--he is starting to submit the stuff that my lawyer listed for him).
In a past posting I mentioned that we had a line of credit joint that was not closed. After 8 weeks, me telling him the location of the closest bank where he could sign the papers----he had done nothing. Fortunately, after spending lawyer money, I found out I could close it as the collateral was the house.
I don't want to wait forever to close these accounts and separate my name from his.
The bank tells me we both have to go in to close these accounts.
I will try and get my lawyer to discuss this in our Settlement conference (if appropriate)----but what can I get him to say so that we have a time frame for ex to get his ass in gear?
I don't want to pay for a lawyer letter separately.
Legal fees--I am sure for all --go up in January.
