My ex-wife is military and was deployed last year. While gone she had an affair with an OSI agent over there. I had my ideas but wasn’t sure. Upon her return I found the emails and pictures (all of which I have copies) showing them out and about and talking about the “nights” they had together. I was hurt but offered her forgiveness in the grace of God and as a Christian husband. She declined and decided to leave. She filled the paperwork in January for a no-contest divorce in Louisiana. We before had spoke on email about things we would cover upon breaking up. They seemed to have fallen apart as I received nothing. I took this job on Keesler and moved down. She kept the house, furniture, car, appliances and most everything from our wedding gifts. I took a futon and my old desk along with 4 dishes and utensils along with 2 towels. I did take the money I received from FEMA while doing contract work and the monies I had earned while she had been having the affair as I felt like if another man had replaced me, there was no marriage in the eyes of God. All told, I left with that stuff and 6k in cash. WELL….the divorce was final and no-contest….or so I thought. I received paperwork on Saturday that she wanted me to pay half of the credit cards. My gripes with this are that the cards are not under my name, I at no point signed for any of the receipts, and at no point was privy to the knowledge of the cards purchases other than the ones I was there for. I know that one of them things from the wedding was paid for. To me in my little knowledge, it seems like this is stuff that needs to be taken care of before a no-contest divorce. Any advice you can offer would make this stressful event much more easing. Thank you so much and God Bless!

Loc: CT Shoreline, with my hubby, ...
Check with the credit agencies and make sure that she didn't falsely put your name on those credit card accounts. If she did, then that is fraud and you can file charges against her. If your name is NOT on those cards then you owe nothing!! Send her back her letter telling her to go pound sand!

She would have to reopen the divorce (very costly for her) to try and get you to pay for anything!

I don't know how it will work in your state, but upon divorce, I discovered our CC debt was not $9,000 as I knew it, but $28,000. My ex had opened several accounts, all in her name, and charged 100% of the additional $19,000. Also, I charged a total of $212 of the entire amount. I was "awarded" 1/2 of it ($14,000).....it was all considered to be marital debt.
