What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
Divorce was final August 2008. I just found out from bank that he opened credit cards in his name only on our joint account. Maybe other cards as well. I have not had/used credit cards in years.
I am not sure how to prove (except I was never authorized on the one account) ... and I need info on the others. They are not appearing on my credit report, so at the moment I have no info on it.
But can I possibly re-open the divorce case and have this heard? My attorney said nothing about it, and I was ordered to pay 1/2 the marital debt, although I have not contributed to it for the past 5 years.
Edited to add: legal separation (actual filing for divorce) was about 18 months ago; actual separation (me moving to a new house) was almost 5 years ago. My access to credit cards ended about 3 years ago. The only use during the time after separation was for agreed-upon purchases for our daughter; I did not use any of his money for myself even several months prior to our separation. Until a year ago, he paid much less than he would have had to pay (maybe 1/3 of regular amount) for the temporary spousal support and child support he WOULD have had to pay if it had gone through the court.
Any advice MUCH appreciated. Thank you all!
