Well just got off the phone with the bank, the only way to remove my name from the account is to close it. The account was mine before we were married and I had her added when we got engaged.
She still has not set up a bank account of her own, so if I close out the account my W will have no access to funds, which hurts my D6. Something I cannot do.
So I sent W a very polite email, that she will not likely ever acknowledge (I am a chicken I guess), stating that I had tried to save her the hassle but I can't just get removed from the account.
We'll see where it goes from here. I will try and work up the courage to get off the egg shells and tell her tonight on the phone when I call D6 that I sent her an email and then re-cap what it said and let her know that I would like to get the account closed.
BigAl,
W filed the paperwork the day before my birthday "Happy birthday OTH, here sign this!" (Well not really, but felt that way). I will be going to court, I don't have to, but I was there when I got married so I'll be there when I get un-married.
I wish this was all easier. I am still caught up in a web of crap that is not in my control to the extent I would wish it to be. All I can do is make the most of what I have I guess. Time to get off the egg shells and on with my life.
