My wife and I are about to be officially divorced. Final papers are signed and are being processed. It is an uncontested divorce, and a settlement agreement is signed in which she agreed to pay me $15,000 towards our credit card debt. However, she has awful credit, cannot qualify for a loan, and refuses to ask her family for financial help. The credit debt exists on my credit card, and she is listed as a co-applicant.
You should ask your attorney how you are protected in the settlement agreement if she does not pay. If you have no protection, no lien against any of her property, she could end up never paying you.
