Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

We have several vehicles and all but one are debt free. My soon to be ex wife wants to keep all the vehicles that the court ordered sold. She says if I sign off on all the other vehicles and allow her to keep them then she will assume the debt owed on the one. If she wants to keep it shouldn't she have to keep the debt with the asset and the other vehicles sold as court ordered. I live in Missouri, do I have a legal argument for my position?

Your divorce prettier property order would not keep the lender fromk coming after you, if she fails to pay. One cannot assume a debt they already owe. Perhaps your wife should do is buy your half of all the vehicles. This would leave you in the same position as if all the vehicles were sold to someone else.

Good luck
