Ok - I am not on the mortage or the deed for the house - Joe bought the house before we got together, he has a great 30 year fixed mortgage rate and Georgia is a joint ownership State so no need for extra expense to get name on deed; All of utilities in Joe's name as he pays the accounts on line - I pay the stuff that isn't done on line so more related to one time or special purchases or services for the house. I believe we have more than enough to prove that this is a valid marriage - virtually every document submitted lists both of our names and showing the spousal relationship.
Now just to remember to attach the cheque in the right amount!
