A: The divorce judgment should have decided liability for various debts. If it didn't do so and the divorce case is closed, then you may have to file a cross-complaint against your ex-husband seeking indemnification from the debt. Seek self-help resources at your local law library which may include research tools and necessary forms for your free use. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
