Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Connecticut

No. Generally, if the divorce decree states that your former spouse holds you harmless on a debt then you must seek reimbursement from your former spouse if you are forced to pay the debt by the creditor. You can not bind the creditor to the terms of the divorce decree since the creditor was not a party to the divorce action. However, you may be able to bring your former spouse into an action filed by the creditor against you seeking recovery of the debt.
