Any bill that was gotten during the marriage you are at least 1/2 responsible for....any thing from before no....anything from after the seperation...no....at least that is the way it works in the states....

Unfortunately, if it wasn't written in the divorce decree, I don't think you'll be able to get anything from it. Remember, he is your ex, which means you have no ties to his pension. I know about this because of my divorce. Everything, including my pension, that was of value was put into my divorce documents. It also stated that from this point forward, everything was separate. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

My ex pulled stuff too. Your ex will probably get away with it. Just concentrate on the custody. People like your ex will find a way of getting out of paying and you don't want someone like him raising your child.

If you have lived together as man and wife you are entitled to a share of the family assets under British law\n\nIgnore your husband. Go to the CAB as a first step. They will be able to work out your entitlement to legal aid costs and give you a list of local family law solicitors.\n\nGood luck.

Darn. I don't know about Canadian Law. I hope you have also posted this question in the Canadian version of Yahoo! Answers.\n\nGood luck in this, your heart must be breaking. It may not seem like much to you, but I will pray for you and your child.

In my opinion, she should have given you the amounts AND receipts along the way, not 2 years worth at once without any proof of the bills.  That is going to make it harder for her to collect I imagine.  Sounds like she ran short of money and thought of you.\nSure you should pay what you agreed to, but a written agreement needs to be made about how she reports the expenditures to you and when you will reimburse her.\nAs to the courts, I am unsure if she can make you go to Arizona.  I suspect that the court in the State where the divorce was done would have jurisdiction.  Do you pay directly to her or through the state?  If the state, contact their child support office and/or the court where divorce was finalized.

get an attorney quick before he moves funds out and make sure you get the alimony and child support you need

If htey gave you the house and you are paying the notes, do you have a ocntract with them?  Has it been transferred to your name?  These are things you need to check out.  Sounds like they still own the house, and if so I would take my 842.00 and go elsewhere to live or have to put up with controlling in-laws and a nosey sister-in-law.

Get a job.  Your ex has a child or children to support.  How do you expect them to do it and why should they carry your responsibility for it as well?  GET A JOB!\n\n~  Spoken as the ex who is owed a lot of bucks and know how hard it is when a jerk doesn't pay what he owes.\n\nAre you my ex?  If you are, they are looking for you.....\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

Wow! That was kind of harsh. Did you ever think maybe this person got sick and had trouble paying for a month or so? YES you can e-file if you still owe. However, it depends on the state you live in if they will take your check or not. In Indiana, if you owe less than 500 dollars, they won't take your check. They sent us a letter stating they would, but they never did. And for the person who just made the rude comment, my hubby and I have five kids that live at home full time. He rarely sees child support for his two that he has custody of and I rarely see my for my two. We have one together and he has another one that he pays on. We manage to support all five kids and still payed over 16k in back child support in four years and he is the only one working. Don't judge someone until you know the whole story.

The minute you used the card after your husband passed away you, in essence, affirmed that you would be responsible for the debt.\n\nAs your husband's survivor and probably the only person to benefit from his estate, either the estate or you personally would be responsible for this debt.\n\nSo no matter which way you look at it, you need to pay it, or make the determination to file bankruptcy.  There is no in between

YES!  And sorry to say, but you probably won't get your issue resolved.  They are always right and you are always wrong.  That's will all of the bill people you have to call.  Good luck to you!

I am not an attorney. If your husband owed the money as an individual - then he was liable for the debt not you. If you filed joint tax returns, then you too MAY be liable for a portion OR/AND all the back taxes. It is really up to you whether or not you wish to pay your deceased husbands debts.\n\nLife Insurance is paid out to you tax free - I'm not an accountant either - If your late husbands creditors know there is life insurance, there is a good chance they will try to make a claim on it.\n\nConsider seeking legal aid, to make get a clear picture as to how you stand, so you can get on with your life and know that you and your children are safe.\n\nI am sorry for your loss.\n\nTake care, and good luck.

It really depends on his situation.  If he has a payment schedule and is at least trying to honor it, you should be okay.  You should file income tax seperate though as his will go towards arrears.\n\nIf he's not at least trying to get caught up, they may garrnish his wages, but not yours.  If he's trying but is just having trouble, the courts are usually pretty cool.  I've been in this situation before, I just sent as much towards arrears as I possibly could and kept my nose clean and always contacted the courts when I was struggling with money.

You don't have to own property to have a state tax lien. Basically what it means is he has unpaid state income taxes that are past due.  The state will put a "lien" on you which means they can take any federal tax return money you may get, or "attach" any property or income you have coming in the future until the past due taxes have been paid.  They can actually go and attach or garnish your wages until it's paid off too. Since you are his wife, they can garnish your wages too.  Employers tend to get upset with this stuff and in some states can even fire you for it.  I would contact your state tax collection people (you can look in the phone book under "(your state name)_______ State Income Tax")and find out exactly how much you owe.  Usually you can make an arrangement with them to pay it off in payments. As long as it's outstanding, you are getting hit with penalties and interest too, which can turn a relatively small amount into a HUGE debt in a very short time.   Trying to get anything on credit will be next to impossible also with that on your credit report.  The sooner you take care of it, the better!
