Divorce Decrees never supercede the original card holder contract. If it was a joint account, you better find a way to get your name off of it before it gets ugly. Doesnt matter what the judge rules...the creditor can still sue you if you dont continue the Terms of the Contract.

If You cosigned for a car loan with an ex who is killing your credit by not paying on time and you have E-mails where he states he will refinance and you are still waiting is there any help?
You are responsible for paying the loan until he refinances. If he is in violation of a court decree that ordered him to refinance, such as a divorce decree, you can file a contempt in that court. If you weren't married you could try suing in civil court but the judgment will only be against him. The court cannot remove your name from the obligation of repaying the loan.You are responsible for paying the loan until he refinances.

How can you pay off a debt your ex is responsible for in the divorce decree to free your credit and keep them legally obligated to repay you?
The only option I believe you would have, is to sue your ex for the money you spend paying off his/her financial obligations. It would seem to me, if the person will or can't pay the creditors. It would be highly unlikely you would be able to recover your money either.

My divorce decree relieved me from the mortgage but now I am being held responsible. What can I do?
Divorce decrees are not binding on banks. If you signed for the line of credit the bank can hold you responsible for paying it. In a situation such as yours, this issue should have been addressed by having the spouse refinance the loan in their own name and pay off the existing mortgage that you signed. That should have been incorporated into the divorce decree. You should calll the attorney who handled the divorce to see what your options are now.
