Re: payment of car from divorce
The finance company which financed the purchase of your car was not a party to your divorce, therefore, they are not bound by your divorce decree. You both signed the contract with the finance company and so you are both responsible for the debt to the finance company. I am sure it will go on husband's credit; in fact, it probably is already on there.
