legally divorced mother from missouri. my ex and i took out a personal loan and a few credit cards while we were still married. since then, he walked out, and filed for a divorce. we agreed that he should be responsible for these debts . the divorce papers state this. it lists the creditors' names, accout numbers and the balance. it also states that he is soley responsible for these debts and the respondent (me) shall not be held accountable for them.
as you can probably guess, he is not paying the monthly payments on these accounts. the creditors are calling me for the overdue payments and also damaging my credit. i have told them what the divorce papers say. i have also asked a lawyer. i am being told that the creditors' contract with me and my ex overides the legal divorce papers that a judge has signed. can this be true? why did the court and lawyers even bother with making it apparent and clear in the paperwork if it wouldn't matter?
if this is true, what can i do about it?
