Marital status has no bearing on liability, neither does what a divorce judge says or when the debt was incurred. Any account holder on a joint account is liable for the balance due, regardless of any other legal action (like a divorce). Such an account cannot "be taken off of your credit report". You are liable for the money because you signed a contract. The only way to get rid of the debt is to pay it (and close the joint account), or discharge it in bankruptcy (if possible). You may be able to take your ex to court for violating the terms of the divorce decree, but that would have no affect on your credit.

Can a divorce in Indiana be stopped if parenting classes have not been ordered by a judge?

In the state of Indiana, it is law for you to go to a parenting class before a judge will sign your divorce decree if you have children. In fact you can't even get a hearing if you have not completed the class. You are supposed to complete the class within 30 days of filing for divorce. It does not need to be ordered by a judge since it is already a law.


When do you get the fees for divorce back?

Depending on the state you are in, it all depends on the judge's order. If your petition requests that the other party pays for the final decree, once ordered, and if the judge agrees.. it is ordered at the time the divorce is final. Usually, a prior arrangement can be made with the other party. In some states, the person that files has to pay for the divorce, but it all depends on the petition. Whatever you may want in the terms of the divorce, make sure it is in writing, if not, it is not in the contract. Remember a divorce is a contract between two persons.

If your ex files bankruptcy on a joint credit card they were court ordered to pay is there anything you can do to protect your credit?

No. Creditors do not care about divorce settlements concerning joint debts. The person not filing the bankruptcy will be held responsible for repaying any joint debt that was incurred during the marriage. The only protection for the ex-spouse is filing his/her own bankruptcy if they cannot pay the debt.
