Your wages could be garnished. What happens in a repossession is that the car is auctioned off. Then you are responsible for the remaining amount owed. * When a borrower is sued for monies owed and the plaintiff wins the case a judgment is entered against the debtor/defendant. Judgments can be executed in accordance with the laws of the state where the debtor resides. The preferred method is wage garnishment or bank account levy, followed by the seizure and liquidation of non exempt property or a lien against real property belonging to the debtor.

Can furniture be repossessed if payment has not been made in 6 months but you start back making payments?
Yes, furniture can be repossessed if you start making payments again after 6 months, especially if the missed payments are not caught up. The creditor can refuse the payment if court proceedings are already in progress.
If your divorce decree stated that your ex husband is responsible for the car payment will that hold in court if the vehicle is repossessed?
It will hold up in court BUT that will not stop the repossession. The lending company does not and should not care where the money comes from. They made a loan in good faith and they expect to be repaid the same way. If you can afford to keep the payments up to date you can sue your ex for the payments you make. Or have your lawyer file a comtempt motion to compel your ex to pay. Good Luck!

All chapter 13 payments are scrutinized for ability to pay. If the plan payments were outrageous, it is highly unlikely that the court would approve a plan that a debtor would be unable to pay.
I cant afford a car that is in my divorce decree and my ex has been making the payments for me i have to give it back to him and he's going to sue me for contempt of court can he?
If the car is yours and you can't afford it, either sell it or try and give it to the bank that has the loan. I don't see a contempt of court issue here since you are not doing anything in violation of a court order.
