Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
My ex and I split up over 2 years ago. We were engaged and had begun planning the wedding. In order to have available credit open for wedding items, she transferred a few of my credit card open balances into an account solely in her name.
Since most of the debt transferred in her name from mine was joint debt (items purchased for our home, etc. which neither of us has proof of) I don't feel I should be obligated to pay anymore. I have already paid off approximately half the transferred debt which I feel is more than fair considering I lost over $2000 in wedding deposits alone.
She is taking me to court, do I have anything to worry about?

You need to be able to show that you paid half of the amounts. Anytime one goes to court they need to worry.
