The car is in both of our names but the divorce decree states that she is responsible for the debt. Now that she is failing to pay the bank is approaching me about it.

They will keep approaching you you will be liable to no matter what the divorce decree says. Just don't pay it. And when you go to buy a car house etc. make sure you take the divorce decree with you. Some places will over look it. I had to deal with the samething I refused to pay for his car and couldn't even if I wanted to. And I didn't have any trouble buying my car or new house I took the settlement statement with me.

You go to court and show the divorce decree. The judge will either make her pay or give you the car. But do it now before the bank repo's it.

So that you won't screw up your credit, you need to make the payment until she gets the loan in her name... She should have gotten her own loan for the car....As long as your name is on it, you're going to be responsible for it...
Pick the least expensive battle. Most likely you are going to have to take her to court to enforce the fact that she has to pay the car loan...Which would be cheaper?
I would encourage you to have a talk with the finance company and discuss the options with them, but they want the money, that's the bottom line, however, if you explain the situation, and that you are willing to work with them so you don't jeapordize your own credit, they may be a little more willing to work with you...
Good Luck!!!

The creditor doesn't care what the divorce decree states. If your name is on the loan documents, you owe the money. If she doesn't pay, they will come after you. If you don't pay, they will reposses the car, sell it, and come after you for the balance you owe. And they will ruin your credit (and hers).
So pay up. Then go after your ex in court to reimburse you.

Send them a copy of the terms of your divorce. This should have been explained at the time the judge made his ruling. This should be a lesson to everybody going through a divorce that as soon as you even THINK your relationship is over, you need to get your name off of joint accounts, credit cards, and debts as soon as possible. Scorned women and burned men will think nothing of screwing up their credit if it means screwing yours up too.

If you can show negligence to a judge, then the court could rule in your favor to take the car because it sounds like she failing to keep payments current.
