I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or not. My oldest daughter got a divorce in 2014 because her husband started using drugs to the point that she had to sleep with her purse so their cash didn't disappear. In the divorce, one car that had quite a bit left due on it was ??assigned?? to her husband as his responsibility and the other car they had was ??assigned?? to my daughter as her responsibility. She dealt with her vehicle, but apparently, he did not deal with his as the bank has put a garnishment on her pay. She hired a lawyer, but now the bank has become hostile and where they were seeking a partial collection, they are now insisting on the entire collection. I'm confused and have some questions as I would like to help her out but this makes no sense to me:
1) When a judge rules in a divorce a division of property, how does the bank have a right to overturn that and garnish her wages?
2) How does the bank have a right to make an offer and then take it away "because/when" a lawyer tries to negotiate a better deal?
3) What can she do and what resources are available?
Since the divorce in 2014, she got married and now has a new husband and a 1 year old baby and this foolishness is preventing them from doing any saving towards a home. Please let me know if there is anything she can do and or any additional information that will help that I can get from her.
Thanks
