Legal Question in Family Law in California

unpaid loans

My ex-fiancee and I decided to consolidate his bills on my credit card, with the understanding that he will pay this debt back monthly. He has bad credit so it made sense, since the credit card I opened was at a 0% arp for 1yr. However upon our seperations he sends small amounts if any at all. I make the payments monthly regardless.I have some emails that acknowledge that the debt is his and not mine along with his verbal agreement but nothing more (no IOU). although I do have a balance transfer from the cc company that shows I paid his cc with mine but that's for a small portion of the amount and I'm not sure how would I prove the cc was his and not mine. Is this soemthing I can pursue in small claims court and win or shall I keep playing this game and hope he sends payments? I don't want to go to court only to lose and end up having t pay the entire amount myself. The credit card has a 0% until January and then I planned to transfer the amount to another card that will offer a 0% for another year. If I go to court should I do this before january and the transfer of money? I'm trying to keep the paper trail as clean as possible. Hope this makes sense. Thank you for any advice!

Re: unpaid loans

The email and receipts of the transfer should be sufficient to prevail at small claimes court. Many court sponsor small claims court clinics to assist individuals in preparing to present their case in court.
