Option #4 would be filing taxes individually, not jointly. Might be advantageous. Rent, mortgage, household expenses, etc. Speak with the accountant. (You might even do it for this year.)
The advantages of filing jointly help me and will offset income by all the crazy interest he's paying the bank. I'll end up owing Uncle Sam if I file separately. He'll end up with a return that he'll blow through.
I'll reach out to acct to confirm the above and request that he get remaining house info for the filing.

We bought this car for S and then upon graduating, it become D's transportation. H and I are owners of the car (no loan). As we did for S at graduation, I'd like to buy her a car and trade the one she's driving. In order to trade it in, we'll both have to sign the title. Seeing as he doesn't have $2 to contribute towards her education, I've already decided to not even ask for the $2 towards a car.
There is so much happening in the next few months requiring me to interact with H. The less I have to, the better for me. If keeping D out of the car interaction is best, I'll engage with H.
As for me....I'm not afraid of divorce nor him monstering. There's some fight left in this dog to see that battle through and come out on the other side. I know my worth and can look myself in the mirror. I've been a good wife and we shared a beautiful life even if it's just how I see it. I miss who H was. The good 'ole H was nothing like this. Sadly, I'm pretty certain that H won't reach out to me, ever. The shame and guilt have done him in. Through all the anger, I spot a glimmer of hope left in me.
Just before BD2, H's friend of 35 years got engaged and is marrying for the 1st time this weekend. Wish I could be a fly on the wall to see his face through the exchange of vows.
