it's done
got a call on monday at just after 5 while i was in texas
they got the cheque at 4:57pm
it was deposited in my account on tuesday afternoon by my lawyer
more when i have the mental fortitude to tell you the details
i'm tired - still exhausted from a hard core 2000 mile drive (my parents) from here to texas in 3 days and a day long flight home wednesday and piling straight back into work on thursday
i have instructed my lawyer to update the divorce filing from 2007 and get it done
it should be done while i am in the sunny caribbean after christmas for 2 weeks
can you believe the stbx told my daughter she missed me?
maybe it's true,
but i think she should have thought of that before

aaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!
as sent to Smitten in an email moments ago:
my lawyer promptly called me back from the message i just left
the word he had on friday was that they had the bank transfers
her lawyer, that is
[my lawyer] "had a run in" with [her lawyer] and told her "come on - this
much time - this can't be anything but stalling"
her lawyer denied it
[my lawyer] pressed them for interest, because the only one getting the
benefit is her [stbx]
they promise expeditiousness
he thinks that even her lawyer is complicit in stalling, and considers
it to be quite improprietous professional conduct
he thinks maybe we'll see some cash this week...

day 19 of 7...
email to lawyer:
Subject: bank says i'm still on the mortgage, and there are no flags to indicate a transfer...
i just got off the bank with the branch in an official phone call to them about the status of the mortgage that my name is on
they tell me that there are no flags or messages with regard to the mortgage being transferred
they said something might be on a mortgage officer's desk, but that nothing shows in their system, and that they can't give me anything other than what shows up under my name
the lady told me that unless i can give them the name of a mortgage officer who is being dealt with they can't get any more information
is there any proof she has even talked to the bank?
is there any proof being offered by her lawyer that she/they are doing anything other than jerking me around some more?
----
called [property registry]
my name is still on the property title and there is no indication of a title transfer request on the record
----
i am seriously choked

stbx at the bank
i have been floating in a void of no information
i have been harassing my lawyer daily
he is sick of this. he is only doing family law because my lawyer is on maternity leave, and the other family law lawyer left the firm. so the others have to pick up the cases.
he is sick of the stbx and her bullshit - terribly
in one of our meetings he told me he "now understood" my anger and frustration when he looked at the the file - which is about 6 inches thick...
he sent me this email on friday
i was not satisfied with this amount of information because i believe the stbx is not acting in good faith and is actively stalling for every day she can - it is her pattern - a minute, and hour, a day, a week - stall, stall, stall
so i went to the bank. i am still on the mortgage. i was going to talk to a mortgage officer and find out if there was "anything i needed to do, or needed to instruct my lawyer to do" to facilitate disposition of the title transfer. iwas going to be utterly sincere, explain how i don't talk much with the stbx, but that she had said there was some kind of authorisation thing that was held up, and that she had told me that i needed to sign something at the bank - and could they tell me what i needed to do or have my lawyer do
they wouldn't tell me very much, but what they would tell me would verify whether she had even been to the bank to talk to them, and might allow me to glean a little information
i was, and am, of the opinion that she hadn't done anything and that it was only the threat of suing that would motivate her
----
i got to the bank
i was waiting for the mortgage receptionist to get off the phone, when
guess who walked in?
the stbx
she looked directly at me, but gave no acknowledgment. i gave none to her either.
she turned her back to me and waited
i waited for a minute because i had not anticipated this possible situation. i thought she would be on her way to work at that moment.
then i left
at least we know she was at the bank and waiting to talk to a mortgage officer...

7 days (and holding)
sent the following to my lawyer:
----
lawyer called me back to say that all he has heard is the whistling wind
he hasn't even been able to reach her lawyer(s)
the agreement says i'm supposed to get my money 7 days from signing. it's now 9 days since the fully countersigned documents were returned to her lawyer
he has left a voicemail reminding her of the 7 day provision. he advised them that we understand that it might take a day or two extra, especially with the Remembrance Day holiday in there. he reminded them that we are now in a position to take enforcement action against them and force the sale of the house, among other remedies. he has asked for their estimate of when it will be done.
----
daughter told me that the stbx told her flat out that she was stalling as long as she could because "she thinks she'll be broke as soon as she pays you"
as always, if they say it isn't about the money - it's about the money...
Subject: any word on settlement payment?
as above
not expecting they will have it done, just wondering if there is any
word as to their progress.
the thing that i am fearful of, is that she/they have done essentially
nothing and will stall for 2 or 3 weeks on getting this done

Jewish Santa
I'm going to be out of country (driving my parents to Texas [hopefully meeting Sicilian while down there - she lives very near our route]) when the clinic's childrens' Christmas Party is on. I would have been Santa otherwise.
But, being as I will be some 2000 miles away...
And being as there is a shortage of males on staff, and the various husbands and partners are not very good sports [grump].
The boyfriend of one of our staffers is going to be Santa.
He's from New York (metro). He's Jewish. He's studying to be a Rabbi. Lived in Israel on a Kibbutz and all the rest...
(I am friends with them - he's hilarious)
This is one of the funniest absurdities I have encountered in some time.
(He says that he wants to be known to the adults as "Morty Claus" from Macy's.)
Hey - Jesus was Jewish too...
