When my husband divorced his exwife he was ordered to pay half of some bills that they had outstanding. These bills are all in his exwife's name and none are in his name. As a matter of fact we don't even know who some of the creditors are (she said its none of our business that she would take care of it) In the divorce papers he was ordered to pay her directly for these bills each month until they are paid off.
At the first of the week we found out that she has filed for Bankruptcy on the said bills. My question is if she filed bankruptcy and is discharged is that considered "paid off", because she will no longer be making payments on these accounts, and I don't think its fair that we continue to pay her if these bills are no longer owed. ![]() |

It may not be fair, but until you are granted leave of the court to stop following the court order, you must continue to pay, or risk contempt charges. Simply make the court aware of the documentation and have the order amended accordingly. Then, and only then, are you free to stop paying, and may, in fact, be entitled to money back. It is never a good idea to disregard a court order, regardless of how unfair it seems. |
