What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
My husband runs an online business which he was allowing his ex wife to continue to help with because she had posession of 2 vehicles in his name b/c her credit was bad. She worked her end of the business and made the car payments no problem. Then she suddenly quit working, and quit paying on the cars. It states in their divorce decree that he is responsible to pay those cars if she stops (b/c at the time she was needlessly worrying that i would come take them...yeah right!). So, we decided the only thing to do was file bankrupcy b/c there is NO way we can afford 1,000 extra dollars a month PLUS cover her insurance. They mistakenly told us at the law office that the bankrupcy would over rule the decree...so we let the payment slip since they were going to be repoed and covered under the bankrupcy anyways. WELL, then they told us they made a mistake and we were, in fact, resposible since it was a court order. So we had to scrap together all our savings ($4000) to get them caught up, and now we have nothing, no money to put towards those cars. It's impossible. So, my question is, this woman doesn't have any of my husbands children, she has no job, no morgage, she owns other items like motorcycles, boats whatnot...can their decree be reopened to get that changed b/c my husband can't afford to pay them? I don't know how much spousal support one would need, especially since she doesn't even have a job. We will continue with the bankrupcy...b/c we have incured too much debt and have medical bills high in the sky. Will the fact we are in the midst of a bankrupcy help/or hurt our case? The lawyer doesn't want to proceed with filing until those car payments are caught up...but we're unable to do that (one is, one isn't)...I want to focus more on getting this decree changed, or figuring out what to do with those cars in the long run and put the bankrupcy on the bakcburner until this mess is handled? Thoughts? Help? tomato's to throw (i notice alot of you people are rather rude...but I can take it..I know little to nothing about the law in this state but am eager to discover if only to save our drowning finacial necks
