Ex won't refinance**************.

[greenb]

Oklahoma. My divorce was finalized 18 months ago. My ex was supposed to refinance the car that she was awarded, so that my name was removed from the loan. Well, my new wife and I are trying to buy a home together, and have discovered through my credit reports that the ex has not refinanced. After talking to her about it, she is resistant to doing so.

I understand that if she fails to follow the court decree and does not pay this debt, that as a joint signer, I am responsible. I believe that she did have my name taken off of the title, so that I am no longer a co-owner of the car. So basically, I am responsible for paying something that I don't own, correct? She has had late payments that show negative on my credit reports, and I want to get this taken care of, so that I can move on with my life.

Is there a legal course of action that I can take to force her into refinancing? Although there was not a timeline listed in the divorce (which my lawyer didn't inform me that I even needed), she has had 18 months to get this taken care of. I feel like there must be some legal way to handle this.

Any advice would be most appreciated.What is the name of your state?

You can pay off the vehicle, and sue for your money back.

When I split with an ex a few years back, the jointly owned car had to be refinanced, and I had to sign paperwork for the refinance to take place and have me removed from the title. If you didn't sign anything (which is sounds like you didn't since you are just "believing" that your ext took care of it) you are probably still on the title as well.

If she was ordered to refinance and didnt,you can file for contempt and costs.Did you have an atty.?if so speak to atty about contempt and charges to her .
