I have a boat that has both my name and my ex- wifes name as owners on the pleasure craft licence. When I got my commercial licence during the marriage, it somehow ended up only showing me as having ownership . When I cancelled my commercial licence a few years later, I was told by FOC/CG I did not have to re-apply for new pleasure licence but that my licence would revert back to my old pleasure K # I had before. Hence, she was back listed on the original K licence as part owner.
Upon my seperation in 2006 I bought her half of the boat ( the cheaper half, without the motor - lol) . Our legal Seperation Agreement states that this was our wishes and she of course agreed to releasing the ownership to me for the money I paid. I paid her at that time and she has no problem handing over ownership but I just never got around to doing that part, officially. I just have forgotten to deal with it for a few years now. Due to her recent involvement with a guy who loves to fish ( and doesn't have a boat !!), I am getting concerned that I should get this done just for piece of mind and if I want to sell the boat. Despite our sep agreement stating that I own the boat, I want the vessel licence to not include her name.
Anybody delt with this recently ? Can I get her name dropped just by providing sep agreement proof ? Does she need to sign a form to release her interest ? I will call the licencoing office but just wanted to see if someone here has any tips first. Thx!
