Im paying the mortgage of the house "we" currently own since i stayed and she left. In my state, your spouse has to sign to take out a mortgage. And as ling as her name is on mine, it counts against her debt to income ratio. Im not sure what she meant by a release. Regardless that stuff is what my lawyer is for. And she can stay unhappy at an apartment until we have a decree!
Your lawyer will know better, but I wonder if she wants out and is released from the mortgage, then if that relinquishes her rights to half of the house as marital assets. You may want to find that out, otherwise if it is still considered marital property, then you'll end up paying her...
Just some thoughts...
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
