Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Kansas
I co-signed a student loan for a girl who is now my ex and she won't pay the loan. I am stuck paying it now and was wondering if there is anything I can do? It is a private student loan through a bank.

You have the right to sue her in civil court for contribution. A petition is filed stating the particulars of the case and the amount demanded. I would demand the full amount due under the loan rather than just the amount past due. That way, you would have a judgment for the full amount which you could execute by garnishing her bank account, pay check, etc. If she has property, you can place a lien on it if you get a judgment.
