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, |
