Go back into the divorce case and ask the judge to remove him. The real question is why the settlement was not included in the divorce bc that is where all these type issues are handled.
I was discharged in May from a chapter 7. In September, the chapter 7 trustee decided to take some property I donated to my mother that was reported in the original filling with my interest in it.
