Q: Am I still liable to pay of debt from a divorce if my ex wife has stopped me from contacting her & pay off my portion
My ex wife & I had an uncontested divorce. It was agreed that we split all the finances. I was consistently paying her for two months until & she stop contacting me. She has removed me from all the financial accounts we shared together. She has furthered blocked me from all contacts & social media
A: Were you paying her or were you paying for the debts directly to where the debt is owed? If you agreed to split all the finances, including the debt, then you would still be obligated to follow through with that.
A: If the agreement between the two of you became a part of the court's order, then you are obligated to pay it as it would be the court who has required you to pay it.
