house loan
Am I responsible for a house loan if the divorce decree says I'm not, but the other party responsible has not had the loan taken out of both names?

Re: house loan
Yes and no.
In the decree, the court does not have the authority to order a third party to rewrite their contract. So you are left with continuing liability to the 3rd party, but recourse against your ex. You will have to sue him/her under the decree's provisions.
