Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

The divorce is over and have found that for years the ex was putting his associates travel expenses on our credit card. The reimbursement checks never made it back into our account. Is it possible to combed through all these and bring it to the judge's attention? It easily amounts to more than $5,000 per month for 5-6 years. He was also stealing from the ATM. Please advise

If in fact the divorce is over, these issues should have been raised at that time. But from your question, it appears that the divorce is not over, as the financial issues appear to not have been resolved. If H is getting the reimbursement checks and not paying the underlying credit card and not paying other family expenses with those checks then you have a strong argument that he should be stuck with those debts. However that determination is not binding on the credit card company. As far as they are concerned you are still responsible for the entire balance of that debt.
