Your creditor doesn't care if you are divorced or that he us now responsible for the debt by the terms of the judgment. You signed the contract and they can come after you. Your recourse is to pay the debt and then go after him or go back to court to enforce the judgment. If you ignore the summons and complaint, bad things can happen to you in terms of a default, etc. Visit me at www.kliszlaw.com to discuss the details. Tim Klisz
