I don't like giving up what small bargaining chip I have right now. I see it as leverage. I'm not comfortable doing the easy thing for Smokey and just signing it off when he isn't exactly making things easy for me with the other, more important stuff.
I'm angry that I'm being pressured to make nice and do the right thing here so that he feels less pressure again. Yet, I'm still the one carrying all this other pressure.

Smokey ins't doing this to "pressure" you. Selling the house is a business transaction and you have a seller who is anxious to buy the house. If you delay and delay, you'll lost this seller. Then it could be weeks before another one comes by. Real Estate does not do slow well. This isn't about you or Smokey.
You two do need to dispose of the house as a part of the divorce proceedings.
What small bargaining chip do you think you have here? Just sincerely curious.
