What Happens to Joint Credit Cards After My Divorce?
This article highlights something that most people do not think about when they are going through a family law case. Just because two parties agree in a marital settlement agreement, or a family law judge orders one party to assume what was once a marital obligation (such as credit card debt), the creditor is not bound by that order. They can seek relief (sue you), if you are still listed as a debtholder. If possible, it is best to either pay off marital debt or make sure that creditors have released you from your joint obligation prior to finalizing your divorce case.
