House Update, Martial Assets, and Job Update

April 7th, 2010 at 06:51 pm

The realtors came in groups yesterday to walk through our house. Atleast 15 realtors came. Last night we got a call from one asking if she could show it to a client so off we went to McDonalds for dinner and so Little Guy could play while we waited for the call back that they were done.

Basically the couple was close to closing on another property BUT the realtor wanted to show them our house first. The realtor called back and said their only complant was that we have all lammenent flooring and they would like wall to wall carpet. Oh well it was only day one, plus we did all lamentant for us (allergies), we do have carpet on the stairs. The carpet on the stairs was new when we closed on the purchase in Feb 2007. Man does it need to be shampooed or replaced. If we would have done carpet it would all have to be replaced before listing so it was money well spent.

Marital Assets, the lawyer gave we a packet and part of that is the division of the marital assets. So today I worked on the list. I was only going to list the big items BUT I desided to list as much as I could think of. I think once we start putting names next to stuff and my husband sees all the stuff with his name on it he might be more reasonable.

Yes I even listed his JRR Tolken Book Collection, Stephen King Collection, Magic the gathering Cards, XBox360 and his riffs role playing books. I would not want them BUT they do have martial value.

My husband got his job back, he starts Monday the 12th. He works 5pm-9pm Mon-Fri. So that is good news because he will be bringing in gross $800 per month and because he will have more money to live off of.

Today I closed the joint checking account, so that is done. The only joint things we have left are the house, truck and his car.

    wow- you are a worker bee! You are really breaking down the divorce process in an understandable way- I never exactly knew how divorces worked. Best of luck on a speeedy sale.

    Most definitely list his collectibles! He will probably over-value them, so beware if you ever get things priced. I had a friend shocked that his original Jawa with cloth coat from 197x was only worth $9, less than a new one. The Magic cards might actually be worth a decent amount. Those things can sell for $100 (so ridiculous!). I hang around too many gamers. Big Grin

    The Rifts books might be valuable. They are out of print with new players looking for them every day.

    Oops I almost forgot his Yoda/Starwars figures collection....Note I do not want them BUT I just want to make sure he realizes everything he is getting.

    He will over value the collections and that is fine with me because he will end up with them and it will only give me more bargaining power. IF he does not want them they will be sold and profits split. (They will sell to Once upon a child for 1/4 of the shelf price) <--- Sad but nice to know that it is an easy $2.50 per item.
