Yes, she can throw me out if she wants to. It will not be easy because legally I could take her to court for equity that belongs to me. I don't think it will come to that but it certainly weakens my bargaining power.
The previous money was spent on repairs once we reconciled last time. So that's gone for now.
I am afraid that I will have to move just to avoid the battle. Right now I don't really want to think that far.
I could also offer her a written contract that makes me responsible for paying her mortgage if she agrees to leave.
That could have a time limit on it after which I have to buy her out.
Or she can suffer financially, emotionally and physically keeping it all to herself if I just packed up and left.
One thing that is absolute. Our pets are a pack and have to stay together and they have to stay with the house. I've seen too many times the stress that the pets suffer when relocated to new and strange environment especially with only one owner present.
