|
|
Hi and thanks,
I will try to be as brief as possible. My husband and I are in quite a mess. His ex-wife agreed in the final divorce agreement to pay on a vehicle that she has since defaulted on, refinance the mortgage in her name solely, ( zero attempt), pay off IRS (2K) and growing ,plus multiple credit cards.
She has now put us in debt over 20K. Husbands ex-wife refuses to make payments and/ or set-up agreements to payoff said debts that she is legally bound to comply with.
Husband tried to take her back to family court and charge her with contempt but judge (???) ruled that it was a civil matter (???) now.
What if any "moves" and or "tricks" can my husband do to free himself of all of her malice, with forethought?

You will need to speak to the divorce attorney, but the judge is right. Your husband will need to take her to civil court...and win a judgment
This happens all the time with divorces.....and be prepared for the creditors to start calling even if you showed them the divorce papers

Yes, already aware of all of that. Thanks. It's a great system when a court of law enforces a ruling yet is too yellow to enforce it, thereby causing us mere victims to spit out more and more Shekels even though the guilty party is in the 'criminal' mindest.
I will never regret dropping out of Stetson in 92', never.
Creditors calling? That's why you change your given phone numbers...not to mention that it is harrasment to 'charge' a new spouse with debt via a phoneline....gag |

Unfortunately, lenders can't be bound by a civil agreement between two parties.
So, yes, your husband's only recourse is to get a judgment (which is probably not worth the attorney fees, because I doubt the ex would pay that, either).When your husband signed the papers for those joint accounts, he agreed to pay them, so the mortgage/credit companies have a legal right to pursue payment from him, regardless of the content of the divorce decree. They can't be held to the agreement between your husband and his ex, |
