Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My divorse was finalized at the end of last year. Part of it includes that a loan we had is now his. He is primary i'm a co-signer. When I took my decree to the bank to get my name off they said he would have to refinance. He has no job and no credit. To keep this from hurting my credit score I have been making the payments, but i really cant aford it.
My question is with this divorse decree is there some way I can make the bank take my name off?
Don't I have a court order that they have to follow?

The bank wasn't a party to your divorce; they were never served, and never had a chance to tell a judge what they think about "taking someone's name off a debt."
The bank doesn't have to do anything based on what your divorce judge said.
The only way to take care of this is for Dad to refinance, which he won't do.
This is a "loose end" that can't be tied up by what a judge puts in a decree.
