What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
We live in N.C. and my husband just won a judgment against his ex-wife for violation of full disclosure, which affected their equitable distribution. This week he was awarded @ $60K. She still uses a credit card that is jointly held in both their names and was ordered to transfer the balance to an account in her own name within 30 days. He now believes she is planning to file bankruptcy hoping the unsecured debt she owes him will be discharged. Furthermore, she has no intention of transferring his name from her card, knowing he will be liable for the $13,000+ still outstanding. Is there anything he can do to protect himself from the credit card balance if she refuses to comply with the court to remove his name? Would her debt to him be considered non-dischargeable since it was incurred on the basis of fraud?
