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

Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Michael D. Lopresto
The agreement between two former spouses as to which debts each will pay as part of a community property settlement is applicable to them only. Third parties are not bound by that agreement. The parties to the note are still bound by its terms and are responsible to the bank for payment. The bank can require payment from any of the individuals that signed the note regardless of what the community settlement provides. However, as between you and your ex-husband, you may be able to hold your husband personally responsible for what you are required to pay to the bank along with any damages that are allowed under Louisiana law as a result of his failure to abide by the agreement This response is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship. For specific advise as to your situation, you should consult an attorney. Further, laws change from time to time and this response takes into account the laws of Louisiana as of the date of this email.

Can i get married again with permission

Answered by attorney Matthew Brent Ratekin (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ratekin Law Firm
No, that is not correct.  That would still be bigamy.  There is no affidavit that would allow you to be married to multiple men at the same time.  You can file the divorce yourself without the assistance of an attorney.  You would have to pay the filing fee and that is all.  It is not that expensive to do you it yourself.

Do I keep my house I purchased before the marriage?

Divorce lawyer at Cathy R. Cook, Attorney at Law
Your house is a mixed asset - partly separate and partly marital. You are entitled to the equity you had at the time of marriage. The equity built during the marriage is marital.
