kate110 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have a joint auto loan for my car with an ex. I have no problem making payments monthly. On average, I make them early. My ex is demanding that I re-finance the vehicle, or sell it. I now live in another state, and do not want to go through the hassle of re-financing this vehicle when it is no burdon to me. Am I legally required to re-finance if my ex wants me to? Can I be taken to court for NOT re-financing as long as I remain making timely payments? Thanks!

KentWA Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Unless the court ordered a refi you are under no obligation and he is very unlikely to get any sympathy from the court to force you to do so. I was on the other side of this, but the ex was not paying the bills on time and it started dinging my credit. The only option I had was to pay it and deduct it from her alimony.

legaleagle Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Give this to your divorce lawyer. What's his gripe? As long as you make the payments on time, it helps his credit score too. You have the car, I assume. Unless it's in the divorce dcree, tell him to P--- up a rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
