Want to Shout It From the Rooftops!

The DVC is now, officially.........ALL MINE!


Received an email at 8:46 this morning letting me know that the transfer is now complete. EX DH is off of the deed/title & it is in my name ALONE.

In 2006, DVC was a bday gift to me from my then DH. Well 4 months ago our divorce was finalized (after 22 years of marriage, but that's another story ) & I got the DVC.

So glad all that paperwork is now behind me and I can just look forward to my 10 day BCV vacation with the kids in June.

I know many of you will understand my happiness.
Thank you for letting me have a place to jump for joy!

Congrats!!

I too had to get my ex-husband of 17 years off the deeds. Each tie you cut feels so good, doesn't it?

Enjoy the trip with your kids! I know that you will make many wonderful memories with them on your trips home.

I contacted Member accounting and they sent me a form I needed to fill out.

They also recommended to me "First American Title"....a company they use often who is very familiar with DVC Title transfers.

I had some paperwork that needed to go back and forth with both DVC and First American Title (and of course some $$). I began this process in probably October..so the whole thing took a few months.

Getting him off the DEED is one thing...but we were also on the loan together. I had to get him off of that too. I was told I had two options...refinance the loan with an outside lender or just pay it off. I paid it off.

Sorry to be brief, but rushing off to work soon. Good luck with all of it and I hope you do get DVC!

This post gave me nothing to celebrate.

I can't believe so many people are happy that a 20+ year marriage ended in divorce and a family broken apart.

I wish for happiness for you, your children and your ex-husband.

No judgement implied!

I agree. I've been divorced and remarried but it still hurts my heart to think about breaking up my family. I am lucky that my ex and I are very amicable but it still sucks that it ended like it did

I guess to the OP, congratulations.

You can regret that the marriage ended. It also be happy that the process of ending it is over.

I am going through this right now...it is so sad. We were Relatively happily married for 15 years and he walked out. Yes, it was just like that. No warning, nothing...

No one is celebrating divorce just the little victories such as keeping the DVC in a horrible situation. I feel very luck to know that, if I get the DVC, I will be able to continue wonderful memories for the kids and I...especially now facing life as a single mother. Thankfully, I have 2 good jobs and it is amazing the strength you can muster for your kids. I wish anyone going through this strength and support. And just a last thought...I don't know how anyone can think walking out on their family is ok, or benefits anyone but his/her selfish needs.

Hi. OP here......You are correct thanks....my first post shows me jumping for joy because the DVC is mine.

Of course I'm happy about it, as are the posters that are celebrating with me.

None of the above posters said they were happy my marriage broke up. Not sure why some seem to think that is the case. DVC is very important to me and I am thrilled to have it!

I believe that you missed the point. None of us are celebrating the end of a marriage- that is a devastating thing that deserves no celebrations.
But what we are celebrating is the OP's picking up the pieces. Divorce is a dark road that I wish on no one. But after all the pain and angst, when someone can start to rebuild their life- that is a cause for celebration.

OP, we're both longtime DIS'rs and DVC'rs. You have given a lot of sensible perspective to me and others over the years as a teacher. (learned a lot from your posts especially when our oldest was young, and was navigating school and the inevitable "what do I do?" questions.)

Anyway, my long-winded way of saying, I feel like I know you. And I know you are not celebrating the divorce, but rather maybe celebrating that you and your children can continue on with vacation traditions. It's good to look for the positive, and I'm glad for you. May you have many more fun trips with your kids!!

I Know HOW HAPPY YOU ARE TO HAVE THAT DVC contract. I agree. NO ONE is celebrating your marriage ending.......just that you got the DVC contract. Sometimes people just .......not necessary at all.

I am happy for you friend.

... that is a devastating thing that deserves no celebrations.

Well gosh, that's not always true. Doubt it was so in the OP's case (so glad the OP got the DVC!), but in my mom's case it was absolutely a cause for joy she finally got out. 14 years of marriage that should have never begun, shouldn't have continued beyond 5 years, and the only thing she got out of the experience was me and my brother, emotional scars, and bruises. Her divorce was cause for a celebration.

And on the other side, dad's second marriage and my husband's parents' marriage SHOULD have ended. Would have been a cause for celebration as well. Alas the in-laws stuck it out until one died, and my father and stepmother remain married for some bizarre reason. The emotional damage inflicted on my half-sibs and on DH and his sibs by their parents staying together has been FAR worse than dealing with divorce. (being the child of two divorces, I believe the divorce aftermath stuff in kids is pretty common and it's easy to find peers to bond with, but the other stuff is more diverse and less talked about)

Not all marriages are joyful, not all marriages should continue. Some divorces are cause for national holidays, IMO.

Obviously not the OP's case, but the generalities were bugging me.
