no you should hand the bills over to your wife its not your responsibility if the car is with your wife, but if it is paid in your name either: change the name on the bills and hand it over to ur ex or get the car bak
Im a bill collector and i see this all the time. what you can do is hold her in contempt of court because the court ordered her to have responsibility in the divorce decree. the problem is that you both had a contract thus the decree cannot oversee the orig contract you had with the lending bank. This was affecting your credit i assume thus you paid it off, now since the court issued this to her in the decree you can take the settlement letter that you got for paying this off to the courts and she wll become responsible for paying you back or at least half back.
ps you cant get the car back, just the money it cost you to pay it off.

How will the credit card debt be divided between the husband and wife during a divorce when the debt is only in the wife's name?
It is up to the judge to determine who is responsible for repaying the debt owed on that credit card account. Unfortunately for the cardholder, if the husband is required by the court to repay the card, the wife is still responsible for ensuring that those payments are made. If he misses payments, then her credit score will suffer.

Is a wife responible for a credit card debt if her husband dies?
The husbands estate is responsible, but not the wife directly. The amount of the husbands debt will be subtracted from his assets after his death. His wife will usually inherit what is left, unless the husband left other instructions in his will (ie leave everything to charity). If the husband dies and his debt is larger than his assets, then the creditors usually lose the difference. This is all handled through probate court, and a judge can choose who gets what.
If a judgment is awarded against the husband is the wife share of the home which is jointly owned in jeopardy?
