Answered 12 years ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
The court can't hold you liable, but the companies that you owe money to can. If they were to collect from you, you would then go after your husband for what you paid. The only good thing is that he cannot discharge his obligation to you in bankruptcy.

What can I do if my ex-wife's boyfriend molested our daughter?

Answered 12 years ago by Morgan Laine Place (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
I'm really sorry for the circumstances you and your children are dealing with. The question the judge will ask is if the change in custody is in the best interest of your children and if the change is circumstances is substantial enough to justify the change you're requesting. I'd say, given that your child was abused for almost a year while living under your ex-wife's roof, that you've probably got a pretty strong case. Good luck.... Read More
