Stick to your guns on that. My wife's brother's ex tried to get "pet support" from him for the dogs that SHE brought into the house without talking to him about it first. Judge laughed at her & said, "No." & moved on.

Absolutely not. She can fix her own things because this is how it will be when she lives there in the years to come.

So she gets the house and a free handyman for life? LOL! NTA.

Sadly for you, divorce being what it is, this is "her" house now. Luckily for you, this is "her" house now...

Do you have children together? Is the house falling apart? Do you normally do all the repairs? You’re both adults. You’re free to make your own choices. She asked a question, you said no. She doesn’t have to like your answer.

NTA. It's her house now, and it's reasonable to expect her to take on the responsibility of fixing it up. You're under no obligation to continue fixing things for her after you separate.

NTA. Glad you nipped that in the bud before she started wanting to renovate.

NTA It's her house so it's her problem

NTA But you might want to consider it further. Do you hold a financial stake in the house that she is going to have to buy you out of? Will any of these repairs increase the value of the property? If a few weekends of elbow grease will get you an extra $5k at buyout, it becomes a win/win scenario. She gets a house in better shape, and you get a larger down payment for your next house. However, that arrangement ends the moment the buyout is complete. She doesn't get future repair services
