Your opinions

Well, once again I need your thoughts on this. Not exactly a bipolar issue, well, maybe it is. Anyway, I finally got the ex to talk to me about the house. A friend of her mom's, who is an attorney, contacted me Fri. and says that he is just trying to protect her interests. Now.....he is not real estate lawyer and knows us both. Not really the point, but he is throwing numbers around thinking that there is equity in the home, when there is not in this market and then has the nerve to ask me if I would be willing to give her $2500, which she put up for her half of earnest money and was factored into closing costs.

Now, I put in 95k as the down payment and paid all of the closing costs minus her 2500, which came to 108k. I have to pay over 6k to refinance the home, so in actuality I am out money and she should owe me.She wants her 2500 back. Do you think she should get it back or do you think she is completely delusional?

Why don't you just give her her money, and cut your losses, so, you don't have any ties with her, anymore. It would give you both freedom, and you end up with the house, don't have to deal with her or her illness, anymore.
