Vehicles in a divorce question?

Question

In my divorce paperwork it says that each person is responsible for the loan and insurance of their car. The cars were listed and the owners name beside them. The problem is that I am a co-signer on my ex-husbands car and he has stopped paying resulting in the bank coming after me. I thought since it said in the divorce that his car was rewarded to him along with any loans associated with it,end of story. Can I take him to court??

Answer 1

>> Can I take him to court?? <<

Yes.  You are still liable to the bank.  But you can ask the court that handled your divorce to compel him to re-imburse you under penalty of contempt.  See your attorney.

Answer 2

Well it's not "end of story" because the bank didn't sign off on it, so you're still on the hook.  Your attorney should have followed through on that by making him get his own loan solely in his own name, not sure why that didn't happen.

All you can do now is show the bank he's responsible and see if they'll buy it.. wouldn't hold my breath on that one.  

You can take him to court, but for what?  Your share of the loan you have to pay back?  If I was you I would get in touch with the divorce attorney on Monday and tell him he owes you one!  Let him deal with the bank.
