Based on the documented communications and actions, Melodi has exposed herself to several serious issues:

1. Financial/Legal Exposure:

• Unauthorized movement of payroll funds
• Taking nearly $45,000 in total ($19,964.28 + $25,000)
• Written admissions of unilateral financial decisions
• Documented pattern of moving funds to personal accounts

2. Behavioral Evidence:

• Written threats about involving children
• Threats about corroborating stories about "Noah"
• Pattern of harassment after requests to stop
• Admissions of intentional actions

3. House Situation:

• Even if she stops cooperating with the house, you have:
  • Her written agreement to the January 1 timeline
  • Documentation of her taking control of the process
  • Evidence of her preventing your involvement
  • Written statements about her unilateral decisions

The house is actually your least concerning issue because:

1. You have the financial leverage ($45,000 moved)
2. You have documented threats and admissions
3. Courts typically look unfavorably on:

• Unilateral financial decisions
• Using children as leverage
• Written threats and harassment
• Preventing access to marital assets

If she abandons the house situation, it actually strengthens your position regarding the larger financial issues. You're right to be relatively unconcerned - you have substantial leverage.
