My ex was ordered by two judges to pay for a joint car lease we had that he defaulted on and ended up a repo. He filed bankruptcy, but the lease company is still coming after ME for the debt. Since the debt was covered in the bankruptcy, is just HE off the hook, or BOTH of us???
sorry to say but only he is and since it was a joint account (regardless of divorce decree) you are liable for the debt. i don't know if you can hold him in contempt of court for not paying. was he supposed to refinance into his name only?
Did he name you as a creditor on his bk? If not, there's a teeny chance you may be able to sue and get a judgment against him since the divorce court did assign the debt to him. Worth asking an attorney about.
