WAW1978's adventures in DB'ing

[Steel_Box]

Hi WAW,
A couple of things, and as you know my 2 cents is only worth what you paid for it. But;

But since I still pay half the bills at our home I would continue to come and go as I please since my daughter and dog are still there with him. He then stated that he would be entitled to a key to my place if thats the case.

Are you covering 1/2 of the house as well as all of your own place? I'm not sure if you can/want to use this, and I Don't know about MA but here, if spouse is paying for 1/2 of the mortgage without benefit of use and occupancy then they are entitled to an amount equivelant to 1/2 of the fair market rent of the house.
Nomo, did I state that right?

Not sure what transpired between the nasty argument the evening before and that morning but if left me on edge and wondering where this sugary sweet attitude is coming from...He also tells me he thinks that I/We should just buy another multi family house and I can live there and rent out the other units. So that way my "rent" money wouldn't go to waste...he even had houses scoped out for this endeavor.

I don't know why he's acting different, but do you usually stand up this strong? Could it be that by holding your ground, and the perceived threat of legal intervention, it opened his eyes that you really are different? Just thinking out loud here but maybe it was a wakeup call.

As far as how to proceed, Why not keep the appt? You don't have to file anything at the moment, but you can learn more about your rights and position, and be prepared. All the while H doesn't have to know this and you can observe to see if something is changing.
