What is the name of your state? North Carolina
First off just want to say this is kind of weird explaining this stuff on here - i hope someone can help me.
I'm in the military and last year i deployed to Iraq for a year. I was married when i left. In the middle of my deployment i got a red cross message from home (seems my wife at the time had gone on a spending spree and spent nearly 17,000 dollars) none of my bills had been paid and my finiances were pretty jacked up. When i got home i ended up getting a divorce relatively quickly, but none of the finances were discuessed.
After i had things cleared up i headed back to Iraq. With the money that i made i managed to get myself mostly out of debt. The one outstanding debt i have was a debt consaladation loan that we had jointly taken out together - along with her parents cosigning on it.
as it stands right now, i refuse to pay anything on this loan because i don't feel like i should have to, after the amount of money that she spent that wasn't hers.
well now she isn't paying any of it either, and her parents want to take me to court for the loan.
i'm just curious as to what they can do, if anything? all our names are on the loan and everyone is just as legeally obiligated to have to pay it as the next person. why should i have to pay it?
any advice as to what i should do?
Thanks
