QUESTION
What options are there if a person is deliquent with payment while you have had to make the payments yourself?

More details to this question:
My ex-wife purchased a truck six months before she left me. She took the truck. We made the loan with our bank, but when my wife left me, she got her own checking account. Since then, I have had to make sure the payments were made on time. We agreed that she would pay half of the truck payment. Well, I am about to finish paying the truck off, and she owes me $3540.80. He lies about making payments, sends me false texts, and refuses to pay her share. It was documented in our divorce decree. Now I need to purchase a car, and I am stuck waiting for the extra money that she owes me. Plus she lives in our house, and I have been blocked being able to look at my balance on the house. She has a roommate which she refuses to notify me she has, plus she has been delinquent on the mortgage payments. I would like her to get out of the house, sell it, and get her out of my life. But she refuses to cooperate. What options do I have?

Have an attorney review the divorce judgment.. if it is spelled out in the divorce judgment and she is not following it you can file a motion for contempt and have the judge force her to comply or amend the judgment.

You need to deal with this in your divorce case. Insofar as the lender is concerned, you are on the hook.
