Question: I owned everything prior to our two year marriage, including the house, my own car, my own furniture... everything. We both worked, but I paid all the bills and she contributed nothing. She had her own job, checking account, car, and even an accountant. We never even filed together. She never used my last name on anything except for a 30K loan we took out that I have to now pay for. She has since moved out and secured her own place, while refusing to give me a divorce until I remove her name from our loan. I can't refinance now, borrow any money, or afford a lawyer any longer. How do I deal with this?

Question: My divorce 3 months ago ended in disaster for me. Go figure. Anyway, she was awarded her car in the end. The decree states she is "responsible for the debt of the car and will hold me free from all payments and debt in connection therefrom." If my name is still on the car note, am I not still responsible for the debt? Doesn't she have to remove my name from the loan? Answer: I cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of Arizona as I am not licensed in that State. Generally the family court cannot force someone to refinance a loan (mortgage, car, credit card ect). The parties can agree to refinance or sell in a settlement and the court will sign off on the agreement. I do not see the refinancing of automobiles very often. It is usually the marital residence that is a concern. She is required to hold you harmless from the debt on the loan. If she fails to make payment you can sue her for the payments that you make and any harm to your credit rating. Often you will get attorney fees in this situation.
