There is something seriously flawed with our legal system
When someone can rack up bills, leave a house, the person left behind can't change the account and is then held responsible for the other person's bills. What a crock of shit.
Too much more I want to say and can't even express how disgusted I am. I am physically sick.

I remember...
When my ex and I divorced he kept using a joint credit card account and I kept getting the bill. I was so angry when I called the credit card company, and since he was the one working and the primary card holder, I could not get my name removed. I had to rely on him to close the account (luckily he finally did). I can't imagine if someone wanted to be malicious about it.
Peace, love, and red wine

What gripes me is when DH's name is still on the mortgage, but he has no title to the property and can't sell it or even live in it. His ex was not required to refinance the mortgage to get it out of his name, but he was not allowed to sell it to get out from under it. For years she screwed up his credit by not making timely payments and was almost in foreclosure twice. It kept us from being able to buy our own home for a long time. She finally did sell it, thank God, but we lost out by paying five years' rent instead of five years' mortgage payments. She and our landlord got all the equity. I won't even go into how badly she screwed him over on the HELOC that SHE got, but yet had HIS name on it. It sucks.

tell me about it..
fiancee and BM took out a loan together and in the divorce she's supposed to pay her half by the first of every month because the whole amount comes out of fiancee's bank account every month..so he's been paying HER half for over a year without her contributing a dime..so when thry went to court she never had to answer for the contempt she committed...but it was agreed she had to start paying her half in Feb. of this year...he never got her half of the payment for last month so his lawyer said to wait till the end of this month and if she doesn't pay her half for the last two months than it's back to court..and more money...ugh
I'm really mad about this
I hear you - in this case she moved out and never took utilities out of her name. we got ordered to pay resulting charges from after she and WE moved, and even though it was in her name, and she wouldn't remove it and he COULDN'T change the account, the judge held him accountable. She didn't even have documentation to show that the bills were from the time period that he lived in the house, but that was ok with the judge. She can break up the family and be a totally irresponsible lying cheating piece of shit, but even the courts won't hold her accountable.
What a fucking cunt! Makes me see red. The worst part is that she doesn't even have enough backbone to discuss any of it - she goes right to court - whatever hits his pocketbook the hardest. I hope she rots in hell when she finally dies.
vent over.
our BM
She got the house cause she agreed to get it ready for sale in a reasonable amount of time. Well that was last April that she agreed to it and was court ordered in December 2007. So far she has not done much to get the house ready for sale. Stuff only gets done when one of her sisters comes to visit or she finds someone who feels sorry for her and does it for her. BM's excuse for everything is "I have a newborn". Guess what - I have had 3 newborns (not all at once) by myself and still got stuff done. BF is supposed to get some cash from her when the house sells. She does not take care of the place - driveway not plowed yesterday - its on a hill - we parked the truck in it to get the baby and we slid right down so we had to park in the street but thats a not big deal. She does not mow the lawn (the neighbors get fed up with her overgrown lawn and do it for her), pick up her dogs crap, forgot to plug in the sump pump so the basement flooded once again and guess who she blamed - BF.
Thank god BF's credit is fine. He is still on the mortgage but the divorce decree states she has to pay the house bills and she does.
