XH is still trying to control after all this time.
Our order says: "The defendant shall pay off jointly held marital debts within 30 days of receipt of her portion of her equity in the marital property. The defendant shall hold the plaintiff harmless for all of the following listed debts associated therewith: (list of marital debts, all in MY name)"
It goes on to say: "The balances of all debts shall be paid off within 30 days of receiving money from financing the real property. Each party shall be responsible to disclose to the other within 60 days of receiving the money that the debt has been paid."
He threw a fit about a list of debts I've paid off that I gave him. I listed the debt, the balance, the date paid and check number. He said it wasn't "proof" that the debts had been paid. He is demanding zero balance statements for all debts, or he'll take me back to court. *sigh*
I have a zero balance statement for a couple of the debts ... a credit union loan and two credit cards. Other debts were in collections and as you may know, collection agencies are not really well known for their "customer service" ... I had asked for a zero balance statement when I paid the debt, but received nothing. I have nothing to show as proof that I paid. I feel I have "disclosed" to him that the debts have been paid. Only ONE of them was a joint debt anyway, the CU loan! None of these will show on his credit record, only mine! What a nightmare.
I already took him to court over "failure to comply" because he was letting the property fall to waste, and he was humiliated in court. He didn't see it that way, though. He thought he made me look like an @ss, he says.
The wording of our Consent Judgement of Divorce is a joke. Everything from parenting time to debt provision is written poorly. People, pay close attention to how the other attorney words things, if it is not your attorney writing the order, maybe even if it IS. I should have been more firm with the corrections I wanted made.
