Q: My ex was ordered to pay pay credit card bills he made in my name, he isn't making the payments. What can I do?
I have an affidavit from my ex saying the charges were all his and he is responsible for payment along with a divorce decree that says he has to pay the bills off. He will pay for a month or two them stop. Can I file contempt charges?
A: Yes, as long as he was ordered in the decree to pay them and hold you harmless. This is general advice and having the divorce decree in front of me would allow me to be more specific.
