No one has told him there's no such thing as the defaulter-on-mortgage protection program?! I agree with the lawyer acquisition suggestion. I think Ky will do the right thing. Fingers crossed. <em>Les Says: I kind of think that if there WAS such a program, he would not motivate himself enough to sign up... And he DID fly the coop. He now resides in a room above the pub.

Long ago I worked for a mortgage company and I know there is some process to legally remove your name from the house in cases of divorce/separation. I cannot think of what it's called right now, but it might be worth checking into that. Possibly you could get that going and finished before he legally jumps ship which would leave him in the lurch and not you. But back to the whole thing. Totally bogus and wrong. <em>Les Says: I'm pretty certain there's no "legal" way for him to jump ship, but I will check that out, all the same.

I don’t know about “buying power”, never having had enough money to be powerful. But, I do know that negotiating with creditors works far better than running from them. I like to think that the law will come down on my side on this one. We’ll know soon enough, I guess…
