unfortunately the one and only way to get rid of divorce debt is to have the other party to release the other from liability with the bank. Banks don't care what the judge says. You are still under contract. So call the bank(don't have the new spouse call either, way tacky). Call them and ask to end the joint liability if it's a credit card that is open it will be closed right away. Bottom line, it will remain on your credit report for 7-10 years if its paid off if released it will just say that you are no longer liable. The best thing to do is never get credit with anyone else. Divorce is nasty and why not screw your ex over when they don't pay child support on time?Or how about if you are happy and they aren't. Save yourself grief pay it off yourself. You will both have to sign the form. Good luck with that.

Can a husband be liable for his ex-wife's debt even though it was put in the divorce decree that she would pay for her own debt?

The creditor can try to collect from the ex-spouse regardless of the terms of the divorce decree. Whether or not the court will allow such action depends upon the state in which the couple resided at the time of their marriage.


What happens if a couple divorce and husband's name is not on mortgage documents or deeds?

If the property was purchased in a community property state during the marriage and the husband did not waive his rights, he may have ownership rights to the property. If not, then he may not have an ownership interest in the home. Either way, he does NOT have financial responsibility for the mortgage debt unless otherwise ordered by a court. It is possible for someone to have ownership rights to a home and no legal liability for its financial encumbrances.


Is there any way you can repair your bad credit caused by an ex-husband after a divorce was filed?

If an account (credit card, auto loan etc) was held in both you and your husbands name then you are both responsible for the debt. Divorce is one of the biggest reasons many people have derogatory credit. If the court declared that the debt was to be paid by your husband and he didn't, send a copy of the court records with the account information to each of the three credit reporting agencies with a letter requesting your name be removed from the account. Keep copies of all correspondence.


What can you do if divorce judgment indemnifies you from mortgage and credit card debt but companies refuse to recognize Superior court order?

A shaky issue. Likely as not, you are on the contract for these debts with your exspouse. The court that granted your divorce separated you from the debt, and only the courts can legally break a contract when both parties do not agree to it. You have the recourse to appear in court if the creditors attempt to sue you and produce the order from the divorce court indemnifying you. Likely as not the presiding judge will honor the order from the divorce judge, and the creditors will have no option at that point but to pursue your exspouse. Be prepared to cooperate with the court if the judge requests any location or asset information on your exspouse from you. This can only help your case.

Wife abandoned me 7 yrs ago and left to Mexico How can you get a divorce from her i live in California she wont give me a divorce?

It is the court - not the wife (or husband) who grants the divorce. In most states, if one spouse files for a divorce, the court will grant the divorce (assuming there are no jurisdictional issues). She may not want a divorce, she may not agree to a divorce, but she cannot prevent you from obtaining a divorce.
