Responsible for what? Someone needs to file again since you are not divorced. Any marriages in the last 15 years are bigamous since you nor she had a divorce decree. You now have community property issues and, like I said, if either or both of you are remarried you have bigamy issues and putative marriage issues.

I agree. Don't worry about blame, it has been 15 years. The divorce is pretty easy. Any kids have already dealt with the split. Unless there are land or pension issues, your property was all intended to be separate so merely work it out accordingly. Just hire a sensible lawyer and do it.
