It's tough putting it in the agreement. What if he loses his job. He can change his mind if its not in there but don't let this stop you reaching an agreement and force you to trial.

Can I get re-married in Georgia after 30 days from filing for divorce in Alabama?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Graves Law Firm
No. The waiting period for getting remarried runs from the day your Alabama divorce is FINAL, i.e. the day the judge signs the final divorce decree, not the day you file for divorce.

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

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.
