I would like her to have them with no expectations. And yes, if i chose this route I would not ask to go with her, i would tell her she deserves the time away and to take a friend. What do you think??
I think that sounds fine, but again, NO EXPECTATIONS!! She may not so much as thank you for them. Just expect that.

So that is the background, in the email she sent she stated what our divorce decree says and it says that I have to close the checking account and am in charge of doing so. So my wife has asked me to contribute half of the funds to get the account back to zero balance so it can be closed.
Like RockJC said, just close it and be done with it. Tell her you closed it and ask her to send her half of the balance to you.

What or of anything should I make of this contact? Considering its the first time in months that she has initiated.
There's nothing to make of it, she's just hitting you up for money.

Should I use the 48 hour rule before I respond?
The 48 hour rule doesn't apply in this case, this is just a clerical thing.

How should I word my email response that shows I am perfectly okay with the situation and am moving on?
I think you're making way more of this than it is. Just close the account, tell her you closed it, and ask her to mail you what she owes you.

Sounds crazy, and I know I am prob reading into it too much, but felt good to get a initiated email from her!
You're reading WAY too much into it! You're still in the stage of wanting to see a silver lining in every cloud. This will pass and you'll get used to the "new normal" of a W that doesn't love you and doesn't want to have anything to do with you. It's going to be many months before you might start to see baby steps from her. Just be patient!
