I know I am going to have to try to differentiate between W and L. It's just a bit difficuly because I don't know who exactly is running the show.
I have not spoken with my L yet, but left a message for him this morning. Hope to hear back from him before the day is over.
As noted, she has not been paying the condo fee on our rental property (where she used to live). That has always been her responsibility, but she stopped paying it and did not tell me - both of our names are on it. I attempted a civil text exchange
M: I don't think the condo association has been getting your payments - got a nasty letter from them.
W: I can split the cost. Community property, your responsibility as well. If you remember correctly, you decided to hang on to that property despite my objections.
M: Half is perfectly fair. Good suggestion. The total balance is X, I will send over half of X today. If you can send the other half that should put this to bed. The good news is the cost dropped for 2012.
W: I don't have the money
M: I understand, I am running a little thin myself, too. Let me know if you will have it after your next pay period.
She never really responded and went on to say how she is prepared to foreclose. I handled it the best I could. I feel like I am going to be tossed over the edge of financial ruin.
