This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It should have been handled in the divorce decree. * by 1978Irish
Unless the decree requires it, she probably doesn't have to pay off the loan early to accommodate him.
How many years are left on the mortgage? With a $20,000 balance, it would seem that their wouldn't be lot of time left on it. If there is less than 5 years left on the term, most of the payments are principal and she might not want to pay it off.
She could agree to give the husband quarterly statements from the lender showing the mortgage is current.
If she refinances and has to pay a higher interest rate, she could ask for the Husband to pay something to make up for the higher interest.
