Today in the mail came a document from our credit card company stating that if we wanted a name removed from our account, the other party would have to give authorization.
In other words, my husband wants his name off of our credit card account and I would be responsible for anything that I charge. Does that sound fishy to you? I don't know whether I should sign the document or wait until I speak to my Attorney.
I filed for Divorce but the paperwork has not gone through yet. I don't know if my husband filed or not but he was the one who asked for the divorce and I filed to protect my son from being taken by my husband and his family.
Thanks!

Hi BabyToLuv,
I have never replied to any of your posts before, but have been "lurking" on this board and occassionally post so I'm familiar with your situation.
My opinion/advice: Don't sign anything until you've talked with your attorney.
I'm glad you are moving on, I think it's the best thing for you and your baby. Best wishes to you.

A good rule in life holds especially true when there are legal issues going on...NEVER sign anything without first consulting with a lawyer.
I am familiar with those forms and have initiated one in my own situation. My H and I agreed who would be responsible for which debts (credit cards & home equity) during this separation time. So we were each already expecting to "sign over" an account to the other person. Did this catch you by surprise? Another thing to consider is how each particular account would affect your credit rating, and what comprised the debt - was it mostly his stuff, your stuff, household acquisition (divided equally), etc..
In closing, if you have a legal separation (not sure how your particular state does that) the responsibility of each account could be spelled out in that form and you may not have to sign additional papers from the credit card company itself.

Don't sign until you talk to attorney. If you sign before property settlement is established you will be responsible for the whole debt and he will be free from all of his charges
