when I was married to my ex husband, we had alot of credit cards some of them in both our names it was all his bills, in the divorce settlement I basically walked off with nothing he got the house and everything else but he agreed that he`d be responsible for all the debts and the degree even states that, now he`s filed bankruptsy and there coming after me to get the money, my new husband has paid off 2 different credit cards just to get them off my back but more keep coming we`ve had enough we have been divorced 3 yrs what about what he`s put on the cards since then I dont feel like I should have to pay

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

Well, I hopw you have saved all of your payments that you didn't have to make due to the divorce decree. I hope there were balances stipulated to in the decree or court transcripts so that you can show where he kept spending after the decree.

I hope the statute of limitations hasn't run out on you trying to collect it from him in some fashion (we know this is a pointless maneuver --- i.e. he IS filing bankruptcy), but it may serve to prove a point to some extent.

Problem: if you both created bills together, you are still each liable to the creditor, court order or not. court order is more for either a defense on your part or to seek contribution from him.
