I got divorced in early 2010. I was done with the marriage after 1 year, I actually started 'talking' to my new husband when I was still married to my ex. We connected on Facebook, I was unhappy, he was newly divorced, we just bonded. So, I bit the bullet and asked to get separated...He got a lawyer (which I thought was to represent us both, but they was just represented him) and the divorce papers were filed. I signed the papers (my mom read them over, said they were fine) and got remarried that Fall to my now husband.
Apparently, I had until MArch of 2012 to my half of our CC debt. I didn't see that in the original divorce papers, but it's there...so now I'm being sued by my ex.
My ex emailed me a year ago. He said if I didn't pay him the 6K I owed him, he was taking legal action. I let him know I was filing for bankruptcy...I quite my job, moved out of stated (to be with my now husband) and lived off of credit cards to survive) My ex knows all of this. He's doing this to be spiteful. Anyway, our Property SA stated that even if I declare bankruptcy, I STILL have to pay him. Only, I don't work, have no savings and am a SAHM to my child. How the hell am I supposed to pay him?
I honestly didn't believe him, he would always say things like this when we were married and he'd never follow though, (if you buy that, I'm returning it! If you take that money out of savings, we won't be able to pay the mortgage! Things like this) and the next thing I know, I'm being sued.
I don't plan on paying seeing as I HAVE NO MONEY. I don't work. My husband supports us. I can't afford a lawyer, I have NO money and my husband is NOT happy I kept this debt from him. He doesn't think he should have to pay my debts and I don't either. I've been representing myself, and just responding via email to his lawyer who treats me like I'm an idiot.
Now, I owe him over 11K because of ongoing fees, the CC debt and legal fees. I'm so stressed. A part of me hopes he'll get tired and drop the whole thing.
Can they go after my husband? What happens now? They are seeking a warrant for my arrest. If I don't have the money, how am I supposed to pay him? My phone is actually in my husband's name so I told the lawyer I didn't have a cell phone. Now, my BIL (a policeman) says they can use photos of me on my phone on FB as evidence that I'm a liar). I also told them that I was the sole caretaker of my child. Is that implying I'm a single mom? Can I get into trouble for this? Can I seriously go to jail for this? Has anyone EVER been through this?
