He will need the car to drive himself to Florida, and yes, he will need the car in general. He may not refuse to make any payments, but he could default one or two months, and I am responsible for the payment. I cannot put myself in that position. I've got to get my name off this lease somehow. I cannot be tied to him financially for the next two years, not knowing from one month to the next if he will make the monthly payment. He's irresponsible, so you never know with him. And if he quits his job here to move to Florida? He'll be out of work for a while, making it that much riskier that he may not be able to make the monthly payments. It's in my best interests to get this legally written up in a mediation agreement. I must speak with the lawyer's office again, and get through to the actual attorney. I spoke only with the paralegal, though she was most helpful and gave me some good initial information.
