I do not know. Did you co-sign for the loans?

You are responsible for the note you signed to the lender. Make sure it is accounted for in your divorce settlement.

Yes if it is in your name you are responsible if your former step son does not pay it.

A loan you signed or cosigned for is a loan you signed or cosigned for. Lenders do not care who a signer or cosigner is or is not happily married, divorced, or married but looking. The loan documents are independent of such considerations.
