    My response:

    You have three choices, none of which are pretty:

    1. Take him back to court for Contempt of Court;

    2. Pay the bill yourself; or,

    3. File Bankruptcy.

    You see, your creditors are not a part of your divorce decree or agreement. All they know is that your name is on a contract, and that they want their money.

    We never got lawyers for the Divorce just got papers from Courthouse and filed. Is this (Contempt) something I could go through the Courthouse for also. What would it be called if so. Thanks for your help!
