Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. Okay, so I own a home. I purchased

it five and a half years ago. I purchased it because I was pregnant with my son. And at the time,

my son's father and I, we were just dating. We never married. I somehow got him on the deed of the home

unknowingly at the time that that's what was happening. I asked the lender if he could be on the

house in some way. She added him to the deed. I did not realize that until two years in when I

refinanced my house. And we were at the time ending our relationship.

He moved out and he has held the deed over my head since then and will not take his name off.

So it's been a few years since we've separated and we went through custody court and he told me that if I gave him full custody of our son, he would take his name off the house and I would owe him no money.

And then we had another mediation and he said if I paid him a hundred thousand, then he would take his name off.

So I'm going to pay him to get off the house, but what I'm trying

to understand is how much does he actually get? What is a fair offer? I know it's whatever to

you and the lawyers. I mean, there's no, there's no math formula here. You know, what did he put

down with the house when you guys bought it? Nothing. So he put down nothing.

Did he make half the mortgage payments? He did make half the mortgage payments for the two

years he lived there, and he helped pay the taxes for those two years. That's what I would do. I have

offered him. Yeah, I offered to pay, he put in about $24,000, but he wants $100. He said, I will not take anything less. Yeah, well, I want to, I want to be

able to dunk a basketball. There's a lot of things I want in life that I'm not going to get. He doesn't

get to decide. This guy's just a low life. He's an absolute scumbag. Yeah. So I said it's a, I think it's a fair offer that I give you what you put in.

Has the house appreciated?

Yes, it has.

I bought it.

It was $300,000.
