Can I sue my ex-husband for a credit card balance?

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
When you charged the attorney's fees to the card, did you and your ex have an agreement that he would pay it back? Also, it is important to see how your divorce decree addressed debt specifically and in general. If the decree assigns debt to each of you in a certain way, that would determine how strong of a case you would have against him. Generally, you can certainly go after him for the debt, but whether you can make a valid claim would depend on the above and other factors.

If a couple gets married in one state does state law where they live apply in the divorce?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
Generally speaking the law that controls is the law in the state where the two of you reside when you get a divorce. There are only one or two exceptions to this rule and they relate to ownership of real property in another state or property inherited in another state.

Do I keep my house I purchased before the marriage?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
If the house was purchased with money you had before you got married, it is your separate property but you will owe your wife some reimbursement for payments made on it during the marriage. It doesn't really matter how title is held if both of your money was used to acquire the house.
