What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Las Vegas, NV
Ok, I hope I dont put anybody to sleep here. A close friend of mine has been living separated from her husband for over a year (not legally). She has a FT Job at a call center($12/hr). Before they separated he squandered there savings gambling in the Casinos in Vegas. They had to foreclose on their home and defaulted on their car loans. Most of that initial damage was on his credit. Going their separate ways he started to open lines of credit under her name. About 6 months go by the bills start to come in overdue to her. To her surprise it totaled over $15K. She could not afford to pay the monthly payments and he was unwilling to pay them as well because he did not have a job. He does not pay for Child Support, he wont sign the divorce papers because he wants alimony now from her and continues to use he information for getting credit. Such as trying to enter back into real estate and pulling peoples credit information under her. Her credit is now horrible. She has the kids 12 days and he gets them every other weekend. What options is she looking at for getting him to sign the divorce papers and finalize it? Also, she tried once in 2009 paying for the documents but he would not sign them and she lost her money. Is there a way that he has to pay the debt he gathered under her name and now left her with? What are the chances that she would have to pay him alimony? He was making more money than her when they were together. Is he some how liable for ruining her credit and using her name for lines of credit without her consent? He is also wanting to get half her tax return which she is using to pay some off some of the debt he made. Such a huge headache. Thanks for listening.
