My only worry would be the discussion about the reason for what you did. The intent of what you did was to get her to sign and cash the cheques as soon as possible so that the contract would be fully exercuted. The discussion was about getting her to do this as quickly as possible before she changed her mind about things.

Not sure it affects anything legal. But it could be used to try to prove that you were trying to take advantage of her frame of mind.
 
No real closure and it was quite unsatisfying. She honestly didn’t seem that resistant to a divorce.
Actually, this was the best closure possible. She openly admitted not loving you. And then she blamed you; saying she has not loved you for a while.

This takes all the heat out of the separation, out of the divorce. If she got down on her knees and begged, it would have tugged on your heartstrings. It would have 'pained' you.

She broke off with you cold.

Cold is perfect to deal with. No emotions are involved, other than residual resentment on your part. Your pride has been hurt.

Broken trust and betrayed love hurts a lot more than broken pride.

This is perfect. Hallelujah.
 
How do I go about getting her off the title to the house? Anyone know?
A quitclaim deed can be filed at the County Recorder's office. You can just grab a form online, fill it out, get it notarized by both parties, take it to recorder and they do it within a day or two.

The risk for her is that she is likely still on the mortgage. You typically have to refinance to get her off.

Talk to your lender to see what they will need.

ETA: are you on title to any vehicle she has access to? Get that taken care of quick before OM crashes your car and you are responsible.
 
A bit of a plot twist and the first crack in her veneer: WW reached out to my estranged brother (my brother hates me) last night. WW let him know that we were divorcing and the date of the trial and was looking for dirt on me.

We are in a no-fault state so I have no clue why she even wants dirt (even so - there is none and so my brother couldn’t give her any).

Any ideas what this could be about? Is she trying to somehow unravel the signed contract (which she has already acted on) and run to an attorney?
How did you find out that she contacted your brother if you are estranged from him and he hates you?

Cars are in separate names already

I have to admit I'm perplexed by how stupid and/or desperate this woman is. (especially having a father that's an attorney if I read it right.) Of course there is always the saying, dumb like a fox.
Sorry if I was unclear. Her father is a shark, meaning very tough and doesn't take crap. But he's not an attorney

If you read the divorce agreement you should find that information, as it should be clearly spelled out in there.
 
She said “You wouldn’t.” Oh – I absolutely would. I don’t care how embarrassing it is for me, I wouldn’t hesitate one iota. “But the kids…” So I said I don’t give a flying f__k about the kids. I care about my family. She then went with “There’s no need…” and I cut her off and I said there’s every need in the world and that I expect her to handle this quickly and appropriately. She finally said I made my point and that she’ll take care of it. I said that she should make sure she does so before the end of the week. Otherwise I start making phone calls. Wished her a good day and hung up."
So how did this nice lady take care of things for you?

Does he know what daughter did? Usually the shark isnt as aggressive if he knows his kid is wrong
