What is the name of your state? Wisconsin (Community Property State)
My divorce was final in March 2004 and Marital Settlement Agreement was filed. We had virtually no assets, lots of debt. He agreed to pay the balances of three credits cards (actual amounts listed in agreement), as well as pay me a disclosed amount of money (personal loan). As of May 1, this disclosed amount of money started accruing interest. However, that is not really the problem. The credit cards that he agreed to pay on are actually in my name (my name only). My excellent credit is the only thing he has not yet managed to destroy, so (as I am sure you can tell) I have continue to pay on these on credit cards. As the old saying goes, "divorce is expensive" and I am up to my eyeballs in bills because he is obviously not paying what he agreed to pay. My question is - how do I go about enforcing this agreement?
Also, I currently hold our tax refunds (he still has to sign) and would like to use his portion to pay on the bills he agreed to pay but I have been paying. Is this okay to do? He has been unemployed (by choice) since filing for divorce and is obviously not making an effort to pay.
