Is it true that I'll still be held accountable for this car loan even after divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Eric K Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Utah Family Law LC
First, the provision in your decree of divorce that orders your ex-husband responsible for a joint car loan is not binding on the lender. The divorce court can only order you and your husband to do certain things. The lender associated with your car loan is not a party to your divorce and thus not subject to the authority of the divorce court.this is why the lender can come after you to collect on the loan if your husband isn't pay, even though the divorce court ordered him to pay. But you have options to get relief. Clearly, your husband was awarded the car openly if the continued to make the loan payments. It doesn't make the loan payments, and causes you to suffer as a result, you can go back to court and ask the judge to modify your decree to get you out of this mess. How? There are several things you could do. You could, for example, ask the court to award the car to you, so that if you're paying for it at least you get the benefit of possessing and using the car. If you don't want the car, you could ask the court to order the car repossessed and then consigned to a car dealer to be sold, so that you can reduce the loan liability. Your ex-husband would still be responsible to pay the balance owing on the loan. You can also asked the court to hold your ex-husband in contempt of court and punished in the form of fines, jail sentence if he doesn't bring the loan current in X number of days, and compensating you for your attorney fees incurred in seeking contempt sanctions. There may be other options available to you as well. To find out what your options are, and how easy or expensive they will be, make an appointment to meet with a very good divorce lawyer.

How do I obtain a special warranty deed to release me from a mortgage, without refinancing the home.

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
A special warranty deed would not remove you from the mortgage.  When you got divorced, your divorce attorney should have had your ex-wife sign a deed of trust to secure assumption.  The deed of trust would allow you to foreclose on the home if and when your ex-wife failed/fails to timely make a mortgage payment.When a divorce decree requires one party to sell or refinance a home within a certain period of time, you can petition to enforce the decree by having the court appoint a receiver to sell the property.  Often, in these situations, the receiver is a real estate agent.

Can I get spousal support what are rights

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
A typical divorce attorney charges anywhere between $300-600 per hour depending upon the lawyer's level of experience, location, and current workload.Many divorce attorneys offer an initial consultation for a flat fee.  A few may offer free consultations, but my advice is to steer clear of those.  I personally offer a 90-minute initial consultation for a low flat fee of $500.  This is fairly representative of what to expect in the North Texas area.The amount of your initial retainer depends on the complexity of your marital estate, whether there are minor children, the county where you live, and how aggressively you anticipate your husband will be in any divorce proceeding.  For a relatively simple divorce without children involving a straightforward marital estate, I routinely request an initial retainer of $5,000.  If the parties are in relative agreement and disagreements do not arise regarding issues the spouses haven't thought of before filing and the spouses put in the legwork instead of requiring a paralegal or attorney to hunt down information from third party sources, we can occasionally complete a divorce for that sum of money depending on the court the case is assigned to.  This is not typical, however.Ordinarily, funds from the community estate will be used to pay for each party's attorney.  If one spouse does not have access to those funds, the court can order interim attorney fees to be paid from any account that is part of the parties' marital estate.
