My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: North Carolina
I am legally Divorced, however my ex and I are still in Equitable Distribution process. I filed chapter 7 and received a discharge. All of our credit cards were in my name with the exception of 3. I was an authorized user on those but not a co-applicant. She insist that I pay the balances of those cards off. The balances on the card are there because I had to use them to pay monthly utly and household bills, no extravagant purchases.My lawyer says I shouldn't worry, but I am concerned that the only thing preventing us from"settleing" our Equit. Dist. claim is this. By the time we go through the mandatory mediation and subsequent court trial, we will probably have spent more than the total balances all together. Should I be worried? My BK lawyer didn't seem to concerned. All that was mentioned was that chapter 7 doesn't dissolve equitable distribution? Thanks.
