Ex used credit card, may not pay

What is the name of your state? wi

My now ex has some bad credit. I don't. We spent the last two years living as a family with our son and my daughter, and to benefit his business, I opened a credit account at the local home store for his business use. The statements show supplies charged that reflect his business purchases, items for building and construction. The card also had his business name on it. Currently the card has $4K charged on it, and in our seperation he is holding it as leverage over me over a financial situation we are in. If he refuses to pay this, are the odds in my favor that he'll be ordered to pay this? Is it worth my time to try?

You could always close the account, and if you want out of the marriage badly enough, then suck it up.

We were never married. Suck it up heh? Thanx for the advice...I get what I paid for I see...

Sue him in small claims. The odds are 50/50

The Crystal ball was stolen by the genie.

Not again. One of these days we'll have to trap that meddling genie!

Thank you for answering that. And for all you smart alecs, hey, if I knew any better I wouldn't have to ask, now would I? Just wanted an idea is all. I thought maybe it was a standard kind of case with a usual kind of finding...as I said, what do I know. I'm NOT an attorney, and I've never sued anybody. I'll have to check by now and again to see if your genie returns though.

You'll have to keep making minimum payments until it is resolved, but you have a decent chance in court since the business name is listed on the account. And, it cost very little to file in small claims court, plus you don't need an attorney. Go here for more information http://www.wicourts.gov/about/pubs/circuit/smallclaimsguide.htm
