QUESTION
What should I do if my ex husband is suing me over default of 1 late payment?
Asked on Dec 21st, 2013 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
My ex sued for default after vehicle was paid off. I tried to refinance but the vehicle was too old. I was late on 1 payment and he went and paid the interest fee. He waited 6 weeks after he paid the money which is less than $100 to file default suit (stating he had to make payments, had received called from finance co and his credit was affected) which was 5 days after loan was paid off. I didn't even know he had paid the money until I was ready to payoff the vehicle and checked the amount with the finance co. Now he wants me to sell the vehicle or surrender it to him. Do I have any rights in this?

As you indicate, it appears your husband is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. I can't fully understand your question, but if you make an appointment with a good attorney and bring in the documents that he has filed against you for the attorney to review with you, that attorney can help you determine your options.

I am not sure if I understand completely. If you were awarded this car in the divorce settlement and you were late on a payment and he is now moving to force you to sell the car to pay him back his 100$. I think if you tell the court that the car is played off ,this is your only means of transportation, and you only owe him a 100$ all the court is going to do is make you reimburse him for the payment made.

I suggest you promptly pay him the monies he paid, with interest, legal costs and penalties.
