Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
divorce property not being paid for
What do I need to do to get the responsibility shifted to my ex-husband for a vehicle that is in my name but he has had posession of this vehicle since the divorce over 2 years ago? He made a verbal agreement with me at that time to assume payments for this vehicle and has not met those terms 100%. My credit has been affected SEVERELY by this and it is at risk of reposession at the end of this month if payment is not made. I cannot afford this vehicle as I am already paying for a vehicle that I currently drive and have possession of.

Verbal agreement? I take it that means this was not part of your divorce decree. So, you trusted a person that you no longer wanted to be with to make your payments for you. Oooops. What you want you cannot have. The car is your financial responsibility according to the contract that you signed and the finance company obviously doesn't want to deal with your X who won't make payments. Your credit will recover in time. Good Luck.

Assuming you had a lawyer for the divorce, call that lawyer..but it seems you are stuck.
