What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
In around April 2007 I cosigned a note on a car for my wife. About 2 months later she left me and took the car. I sent her enough in child support so that she could keep the car but after about 7 months she starting not making the payments and eventually it went inot repo stage. Our divorce was finalized in May 2008 and the papers state that she is responsible for the car. The finance company (GMAC) eventually sold the car and then sent me a statement saying that what the difference was between the loan and the price sold at auction and that I owed $13,000. I called them up and stated to them that my wife and I are divorced and that our divorce papers state that she is responsible for the car. They said that they received that page from our divorce from my ex and have it on file but they said since I co-signed on the note that I am just as repsonsible for the balance. Am I still obligated to pay the $13K (which I do not have) even though the papers say she is responsible for it.
