Q: Me an my Ex wife divorced in 2008, we were sued over the house, I paid my share. She has been court ordered to pay r
Remaining balance, but never did and I'm still being called upon to pay her share. Can I be removed from the case
A:
I would need to know more details about the case to give you a better answer, but I assume you have 2 cases going. The Divorce court ordered her to pay 1/2 the cost, but there is a Civil case where both of you are liable for the house issue.
Unfortunately, you are still responsible for the debt in the Civil case, so you would need to file a motion for contempt in the Divorce case to try and get payment from her to address the Civil case. If she does not have the funds, then you will need to pay the entire balance in the Civil case and seek reimbursement from her in the divorce court.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me at 317-565-1818.
