What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
I recently worked with my ex-wife's attorney to reach a settlement on how we'd split the proceeds of the sale for our jointly owned home. Our separation document left some wiggle room that we finally settled on. I received an email from her attorney that stated the following
"My client has agreed to accept the payment of $X.XX as her portion of the home closing. Please submit the check to our office at the address below and then we will subsequently forward to our client."
I just want to be sure that this issue is resolved once and for all. I don't want to be liable for any other payments. Do I need to get something in writing from her as well? How can I protect myself and do I even need to do anything else? Thanks!
