Re: Divorce
If you did not sign the note or guarantee it you are not responsible for the payments.
If you are on the note, make sure your lawyer has the court order your wife to either convey the truck to you or refinance the loan so you are not on the note.
Another option is to tell your wife you can no longer afford to make the payments and will stop making them. She either needs to arrange to take over the payments or watch the truck be taken away. If you are on the note, this will hurt your credit rating.

If you are on the note, the creditor will continue to hold you responsible unless it is paid off so make sure your lawyer has the court order your wife to either convey the truck to you or refinance the loan so you are not on the note.
