Re: Responsible Party

It will depend on the final result of the divorce. If they agree or the court finds that each should have a car then your daughter will be responsible for one payment and he the other. However, the bank will not release her from the obligation to pay. So while the court will require the husband to pay one loan, if he fails to pay, the bank can come after your daughter. To be safe the car(s) which she does not want to keep should be sold.
