Legal Question in Family Law in California
By applying several credit cards on his own name and not paying for them, my husband accumulated huge credit card debts. The court awarded each party the debts post separation. The court also awarded me our residence (the house). After getting the house title out of his name, can any of his creditors still obtain a judgment and record an abstract that attaches to the house? We both live in California.
