What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
Hello everyone,
I am in a world of crap at the moment and need some help. I will explain my story briefly and in chronological order so we don't get things mixed up.
My soon to be ex-wife and I shared an apartment in 2012, the time when we decided we needed to separate. We both placed our social security numbers on the lease and had equal responsibility. When we separated, I left the home and she stayed, allowing her father to move in to help with rent. Later on she moved out, and I believed everything was over with the apartment. I never took my name off the lease, yes i know, and now its come back to haunt me.
My company is transferring me to Colorado next month. I went to get an apartment last week while visiting and was told i was denied due to a eviction and past due payment on my credit report. Come to find out, she bailed on the apartment, left it abandoned, didnt clean, didnt return a key, and didnt notify me. Her father told the office he was me so he could have all the letters forwarded to another address rather than myself. I owe $1100 on the place and have the bad credit now. I know its my responsibility to have notified the apartment of my leaving but I didnt even consider that at the time, live and learn i suppose.
Here is where I am now. We just started the paperwork on the divorce 2 weeks ago. We are both broke and couldnt afford it until now. She lives in Brazil and I can only communicate via e-mail. I filed the divorce paperwork listing no discrepancies between the two of us, no children, no assumed debt (that i knew of), and no assets to split. A simple divorce, if that exists. She is aware of it and is expecting the documents in the mail, certified, to sign for and return so I can take that into the court and prove it was delivered to her. They would wait 30 days for any disputes and finalize the documents and we are finished officially... Now i want to change that.
She knows she was responsible and is willing to take on the bad credit and alleviate me of any evictions on my record. I already paid the debt, just now have a lingering issue that is preventing me from getting a formal lease completed with another landlord in my name. I want to amend my divorce paperwork to show that she is the only person responsible for the lease and is willing to take that burden on herself if that is possible. I can and will also be willing to go to the phoenix court where the eviction was finalized and dispute the claim with them as well.... more or less, I need to rid myself of this eviction on my record so I can move into any home without having this on my history.
Any advice would help me tremendously. Thank you.
