Full question:
when I was married, I signed for my wife to buy a car. She was the co buyer. In the divorce, the judge awarded her the title, and balance due on the car. A month later, she stopped making the payments. In the divorce decree, she wasn't supposed to hold my property in harm or hurt my credit. However, the car went back for non payment and my credit report shows this. They tell me that I am responsible for the car and it's payments. How can I be held responsible if a judge granted her the car, balance due, and title? Can I sue the creditors since I have tried every dispute?

Answer:
The creditors only look at the names on the contracts. You would have to resolve the dispute involving the divorce settlement in court. If a person fails to uphold their end of the divorce decree, a petition for contempt may be filed.
