My question involves a marriage in the state of: CA
My parents are in the process of getting a divorce. They have just finished filing their disclosures but have yet to complete the marriage settlement paperwork.
We had intended, in the division papers, to assign the house and credit card debt to my dad. He stopped paying for the mortgage, so the house will foreclose in coming months, and he has accrued $70,000 of credit card debt.
However, he disappeared. He sent an email to his clients saying he had left the country to "take care of business," but I doubt he will ever come back. Is it too late to enter default? How can we finish the divorce without him here and with no knowledge of how or where to find him? Is there any way we can avoid his debts?
