I cosigned with my ex-wife on a vehicle she kept in the divorce. She never refinanced. She filed for bankruptcy last month. I can't afford to take on the loan. What do I do?

If she was awarded the care in the divorce, she likely got the debt too. You may be able to get relief in your divorce action.
She would not have divulged info had she not been prevented from leaving the state of Idaho.

The Parenting Agreement IS relevant. However, it's relevance goes down, by the day. Because what the divorce court judge is supposed to do is decide what is in the best interests of the minor child. The Parenting Agreement is very relevant if it's only 4-5 months old when you divorce... View More
Judge mandates only blood relatives or licensed child care providers. (I have no family in Idaho so I use daycare)
I than lose custody % 2 years later because my kids are in daycare to much while I'm at work 5 days a week. Single mom.

As a litigator, what I constantly have to remind myself is that judges don't care how good my argument is to give my client custody, or how persuasive I am about the good things my client is doing etc., if it's not in the child's best interests. This is thE ONLY factor that the... View More

The husband is guilty of manipulation and severe, emotional abuse of your sister and (probably) their son. Idaho, like most other states can give your sister a divorce for FAULT reasons, not just "irreconcilable differences" which is "no fault." IN a divorce, if your sister,... View More
I don’t want to go through child support to calculate,we want to solve our issues regarding financial support for our children amicably, can we go about that without further action from child support?
answered on Nov 2, 2022
Nope. By applying for Idaho benefits, Idaho has a "vested interest," in making sure that whatever monies it has provided you, are paid back. That means that whatever you and your husband thought you had decided, may be okayed by the Court, but the Department of Health and Welfare,... View More

A QDRO does not override a Divorce Decree, it merely directs the Plan Administrator on how to divide a 401k or military or state retirement. It's simply the "instructions" on how to do it. So, the answer is probably YES you would have the right at this point to get a large portion... View More
Ex has been incarcerated since 2018 to present. Am I responsible to store his belongings after divorce was final and gave him 90 days?
Also, if I was to pay ex for equity of home and nor him or his attorney provided Deed of Trust address. Do I still have to pay? Is there a statute of limitations?
answered on May 8, 2022
As to your ex’s belongings. What I recommend is that you send him a letter, while he’s in jail, telling him that he has 30 days to have someone (preferably family) pick up his belongings and that if no one comes within 30 days, you will dispose of his things as you see fit.
As to your... View More
