Quoting DEBRET
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!
