Was this house purchased during the time you were married? If that is the case, it is joint property regardless of whose name is on the loan and deed. You are responsible for the debt in the amount assigned to you when your marital assets and liabilities were distributed. If it has been decided that you have no interest in the property, then you are not responsible for the debt. Your agreement to stay in the house until it is sold is something that will be hard to enforce should you decide to leave. Check with your attorney, but I don't think you are obligated in any way to a house that is not yours and is not going to be your responsibility. Tell your ex you can no longer stay there and let him worry about his property.

If you agreed to split property in the divorce and your husband stops paying for his car what can you do to keep yourself from being charged for it?

The divorce decree has NOTHING to do with the contract between the lender and whomever signed it. IF your name is on the contract, you will be responsible for the balance due until it is paid in full or discharged by B/K. The first thing to TRY is get possession of the car and sell it.

There is no universal answer to your question. Distribution of assets in a divorce can be agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree the court will make a division based on such factors as the length of the marriage, whether there are children, the economic position of the parties and their ability to acquire assets in the future.
