What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ND
After returning from Iraq I found all the credit cards maxed out, no bill paid and the wife asking for a divorce. We seperated bills as best as possible and it states who is responsible for which debt in the divorce decree. Now that she isn't paying any of hers, i am finding that I either pay them (to save my credit) or get taken to court since most of them are in my name only. Do I have a leg to stand on in a small claims court or what other choices do I have? Contempt of court on her behalf since she is not following the decree? But how will that help me to get her to either reimburse me or pay her bills? How is it possible to have a court ordered (approved) decree and she can get away with this? I could really use some good advice as to what my rights are and what I should do.
