What are my options if I am not able to remove loan out of my name or remove her name off loan?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
A divorce order cannot alter the rights of creditors. If your ex can refinance the loan in that person's name, you will be released. If refinancing is not feasible, the car can be sold and the loan paid. Otherwise, liability for the debt will remain in effect. I suggest you hire a lawyer.

How can I pay my half of the IRS tax debt and have my ex-wife pay for her half

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
Generally speaking, your divorce decree creates binding obligations between you and your former spouse.  It typically does not (and cannot) in any way limit a third-party creditor's rights against either you or your former spouse because the creditor was not a party to your divorce proceeding.When the parties have a joint debt obligation, including a tax debt, at the time of divorce, the court typically includes provisions as to how those debts are paid.  A typical provision begins with the language similar to the following:"IT IS ORDERED AND DECREED that Petitioner A.C. shall pay, as a part of the division of the estate of the parties, and shall indemnify and hold Respondent B.C. and his property harmless from any failure to discharge, these items:"This is typically followed by a laundry list of debts which may include 50% of any past tax debt of the parties incurred during their marriage.To enforce this provision against your ex-wife, you would first pay the IRS the entire tax debt, then sue your ex-wife for indemnity seeking a judgment against her for the 50% she was ordered to pay and to indemnify you from any failure to discharge.  You would then get a judgment against her, which likely will include interest and attorney fees, which you could then collect using any of the legal methods available for collection of an ordinary civil judgment subject to the usual property exemptions

What forms do I need and what exactly should I do about the 401k and savings plan I was awarded in my divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gregory Bruce Brough (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gregory Brough
First, determine who is the administrator of each of these plans. Then notify the administrator that you have been awarded an interest in these plans. This usually causes the administrator to freeze the funds and will buy you some time. Then (diplomatically) let your attorney know that you will hold him or her responsible if your ex-husband cleans out these funds before QDROs ("qualified domestic relations order") get submitted.
