Legal Question in Family Law in Idaho

division of debt

I previously asked

Question: Is it possible to modify division of debt after a divorce is final? If there was an open joint account that had a $0 balance at the time but has since been charged up by one of the parties, can you change the divorce decree so that party is responsible for the debt?

The response was unlikely

I had forgotten to mention that this debt was NOT listed in the divorce decree. It had a $0 balance at the time, was not listed, and now one of the parties has charged it up. How do you assign who is responsible for it? Would that be grounds to modify the order of division of debt?

Re: division of debt

No again! Prop divisions in divorces are final. Anything she incurs by charging new amounts on the card are hers to pay since you are no longer married.
