Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

credit card

There is an outstanding credit card from my divorce which I have been paying monthly. The card is closed and has not been used for over 3 years.

The card is in my ex-husbands name.

Is there any legal action he can take against me?

Re: credit card

I think he can. I have a client that was in a situation like this and her husband pressed criminal charges against her. I was able to get them dismissed.

I'm confused as to why this wasn't dealt with in your divorce. Either you didn't have an attorney or they didn't know what they were doing.

You are impacting his credit report and so he may take legal action against you. I would suggest sitting down with an attorney and working all of this out now instead of later.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
