[quote=Anonymous]I had a smiler situation. I had to refinance the house into my name only. I told ex that if we were to sell the house, it would actually cost him money (which was true). You need to talk to a lawyer if you are serious. 
 Mediation will be much cheaper. If you are in Arlington (or VA) try Bean Kinney Korman. I think that I paid a $3k retainer, but got back about $1500 which we didn't use. We only met with them once. Or if you know a family lawyer, have them draw up a separation agreement. You should each have a different lawyer review it.

- you each keep what you brought into marriage
- split checking accounts
- who gets which car 
- no spousal support
- who gets what household items - 
- any heirlooms to be returned
etc

The mediator will sit with you both and see if you both agree. If you both do, then you will need a lawyer to file the paperwork if you are the one asking for divorce. I don't think that my ex ever had a lawyer, and he didn't even show up in court for the actual divorce.

If VA, since you have no kids, you will have to be separated for 6 months before you can get on the docket for the divorce proceedings. All in, it took me about a year to be officially divorced. [/quote]
