divorce stipulations for paying college loans

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maine

As part of the divorce agreement, my ex-wife is to pay 50% of her daughters student loan payments, which I am the co-signer of. She has been paying all along, but I am skeptical that once I am finished paying child support and alimony, she will not pay her share. She refunds me her share every month after i make a payment.

If she quits paying, you take her back to court for contempt.

If its a "student" loan, why isn't the student repaying it back?

Because the court ordered otherwise.

So much for the kid learning financial responsibility. (God forbid they may be sitting in the white house someday)

If you're skeptical that she will not pay her share (really read what you wrote - it means you are sure she WILL pay) - what is the problem?

I would have requested the alimony payment be credited to the payment.

 

[I'mTheFather]

I would have requested that the loan be refinanced into mom's/daughter's names if this is his stepdaughter.

But that's water under the bridge.

More likely a fleecing trader on Wall Street stealing retirement from older folks.
