    Default Responsibility for Car Payment After Divorce

    My question involves a marriage in the state of:florida
    I am recently divorced and my ex was given "custody" of the car. The bank however can't put the lien in her name as she has no income except for cs and alimony. She has now fallen two months behind and my credit is getting knocked. While I am about to file a contempt order as the car is her reponsibility is there anything else I can do to fix my credit or resolve this. Im quite sure that court orders dont fix credit nor do they keep a financial institution from reclaiming their property.

    You can brainstorm possible resolutions that might be acceptable to your ex- while protecting you. For example, if she wants to keep the car, you can propose that the divorce judgment be modified such that you would pay the car payment with credit toward the spousal support. If not, you can propose taking the car such that you can sell it and pay off the debt.

    I actually was making the payment and charging it as spousal support. When the final judgement was created during mediation however that was nipped as she wanted the money to make the payment herself since its "her" car.
