Divorce and Credit Card Debt
When going through divorce it can be a real pain to find a way to
divide all the bills that are due then. One of the hardest things to
divide is your consolidate credit financial debt. The person in the
divorce that continues to hold the accounts will still continue to get
the bills and have to pay them. The least preferable way to get the
bills divided is to due it in a form of child support. You could divide
all your bills and when your divorce gets finalized, the income
generating party will start to pay their half in payments.
That would make it where one party gets stuck with all the credit
card debt and the other one will only have a set amount to pay.
Well this is not fair is it? Then if either of you use the card you
have to go back through and change the legal amount. That is not
only going to give you a headache but also give administration a
headache.
If you and your party are able to compromise, you can agree to a
reasonable amount. You can then decide which shared assets to
use to pay down the debts. Before you sell these assets, close the
accounts and distribute the funds equally.
Even after doing this there may still be some amount owed left
over. It does very wise to divide this amount between the two of
you. Then both parties can decide their own ways to pay of their
amount due.
