If these options just aren’t feasible in your situation and your ex-spouse will be responsible for making payments on a joint debt, it’s your responsibility to monitor that account and ensure it is being paid on a timely basis. This can be done by having copies of the bills sent to your home, gaining online access to the account, or regularly checking your credit report.
If your ex-spouse is unable to make the payments in a timely manner, regardless of what the Divorce Decree says, to protect your credit, you will need to jump in and begin making payments on that account.
Anyone considering a Divorce should seek legal counseling due to the complexity of what is involved. Do not be bashful in bringing up these issues with your Attorney to prevent a financial nightmare down the road.
