Re: divorce debt

She should see her divorce attorney and get him to file a show cause order for contempt of court. If the decree requires him to be responsible, then the way to enforce the decree is to say that he is in contempt for not doing as the judge has ordered.

Your daughter's divorce counsel will be able to help you with this.
