As stated in our divorce decree, my ex-wife was supposed to either pay off 50% of our joint debt or refinance in her name (removing me from the accounts). I paid my half with proceeds of the sale of our home but she hasn't paid off or refinanced her portion ($8,000+) and has not made any atttempt to pay off the balances for 3 years. Since these debts still show on my credit report, my credit is now in shambles, I can't even rent an apartment. What steps can I legally take to retify the situation and rebuild my credit?
