My ex-husband and I have been divorced for approximately one year now, and I just got a call from Ford Motor Credit telling me I was to remit payment immediately because he is late. It states in my divorce decree this:

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND DECREED that the party awarded a debt shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from any failure to discharge such debt.

Ford on the other hand is telling me my divorce decree is meaningless as it does not superceed my original contract. HELP! I don't understand why I should have to pay his payments and assume his bad credit when I have been divorced from him one year already. Is there nothing I can do?

Any input or advice would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
