Generally you can pay taxes and interest that you pay and are obligated to pay. Obviously the property taxes aren't an issue here.

As for the mortgage in the others name, I am not certain but looks like you may not. You would need to be on the mortgage (either refinance it or get the mortgage holder to add you).

I disagree. She is not obligated under the mortgage contract but she is obligated under the divorce decree. Therefore she is obligated to pay the mortgage interest.

I vote with LdiJ. She can deduct the mortgage interest & taxes.

I agree with FlyingRon's first sentence and LdiJ and Abezon.

Thanks quincy. All is not "well", but better. There is a respite right now as things are starting to move to a more regular pattern. And, since we're dead right now (except for getting ready for tax season), I took a look around the old hangout.

"Better" is better than "not better", I guess, so I am glad to hear it. Visit Defamation on occasion. I miss your stimulating discussions!

I think you're lying. I think your lies caused me damages and are untrue. Since you've published them here--you're in a lot of trouble.

Nope, I plan on sticking with truth as my absolute defense.
