Thank you so much for your help.
Since we were never married, there is no divorce settlement. We are friends and lazy and didn't think about what would happen when we had to sell the house or what we would do until now that we have an offer and are closing soon (I know, so so stupid).
At the moment, the closing agent is planning to divide the proceeds to both of us (after we agree on what my percentage should be based on how long I paid into the mortgage and any money I added up front when we bought the house). This doesn't mean we can't do something different if that makes things better/easier and less costly.
I'd happily sign something to remove myself from the sale entirely and work out something with my ex to be reimbursed eventually? Maybe that isn't kosher though?
