You posted under legal malpractice and is there is no malpractice issue.

When you cosign, you owe the money, so in this case, as you found, you made a huge mistake.

There is no easy fix. You either have to make the payments or file bankruptcy to get rid of the debt. That second option may or may not work for you. Sit down and discuss that with a lawyer.
