Ex wife given trucks/debts in divorce but did not refinance as ordered
My husbands ex wife was given two trucks in their divorce. Both vehicles had hefty loans. Trucks are in my husbands name and his credit, she refuses to pay for or refinance. His credit is going down the drain fast. The Court ordered that the bills were hers along with posession. They both are now in reposession and the credit company is coming to us for the money. What can we do?

Not much, except pay them off, then sue the ex for her breach of the divorce decree. So long as the creditor hasn't agreed to let your husband off the hook, he's responsible; without regard for what the divorce decree said.
That's trap that many divorced people have fallen into.
