Asked on Feb 27th, 2014 on Family Law - New Jersey
More details to this question:
My ex filed all the paper work for the divorce pro-se. I was never served the original divorce complain, I was never notified of any court date, and I was not present at court. In the video transcript of the court proceedings, my ex told the judge she knew I moved and did not live at the address to which all the papers were sent to. Also under oath she said I agreed "orally" to pay a credit card debit of $XX,XXX from Honeymoon expenses. In The FJOD it states that I was defending myself,pro se, and not appearing. In the end of the FJOD it states: It Is Further Ordered, That all collateral issues contained in the parties ORAL SETTLEMENT, the terms of which were placed upon the record in THE PRESENCE of the Plaintiff and DEFENDANT with counsel were incorporated by the Court into this FJOD. Defendant by Agreement, shall be responsible for credit card debt in the amount of $XX,XXX
