Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Re: seperation of debts

Your creditor was not a party to the dissolution proceeding and to protect its collection rights, it will not agree to releasing one of two debtors from the account until and unless it is paid in full. Your most realistic option is to have this account closed as to future charges and pay it off or refinance the balance due on another credit card that is just in your name. I assume in the decree that there is or will be the language that says that you will indemnify and hold him harmless for this debt. If so, then he would have the right to go back to collect from you such amounts as the creditor collects from him in the event you default on the obligation.
