I was court ordered to pay half of my ex wifes federal student loan that she incured in her name only for her schooling while we were married. I have recently called the 1-800 number, put in her social and found out that she hasn't made a payment since may of last year. The monthly payment amount is even a lower amount then what was presented at our divorce mediation. I believe she refinanced at a lower rate. Am I even responsible now that the old loan would've been paid off for a new loan at a lower rate? I send the payment to my ex and she pays the loan as court ordered. I know she lost her job and that is probably one reason for not being able to pay the loan, but where is my portion of the money going? If the loan was refinanced and I'm not responsible for the new loan, can I sue her for the money I paid beyond the refinance date?
