Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Well, "trouble" is a relative term. If you "co-signed" the loans, the lender can certainly look to you for payment of the loan. But, normally, one is not criminally responsible for the acts of another. I do represent clients with regard to civil issues arising with loans, but not with regard to criminal issues. I can refer you to a criminal defense attorney if necessary.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.

Barry seems correct, but you also have an exposure for the value of the missing equipment, not just the lease payments. Can you trace what jobs your ex might be working on, as heavy equipment is probably needed and could be located on the site.
