I'm thinking since I suggested this in lieu of refinancing for the balance plus half the equity, I should do the right thing, and get her the money from our mutual funds. What are your thoughts?
My thoughts are it's a legal question. I do agree with you that what is hers is hers, but as off-the-rails as she is you want to make absolutely sure this isn't going to come back to bite you. At this point I would assume that if there is any way for her to turn anything to her advantage against you even if it involves lying/ cheating/ stealing, then you should assume she will attempt to do so and protect yourself accordingly.

That's her problem, she should have been more careful when she filled out the paperwork....
Thoughts?
It's not an ethical dilemma. Personally I would just let it go, don't worry about it. It's just a piece of paper, what you choose to pay is unrelated to it. You don't have to discontinue paying support just because of that piece of paper. You can of course continue to do so. My two daughters are well over 18 but my XW and I continue to split costs now and then when something comes up.
