Re: Essential mail not passed on

Your story is a great example of why people should have
competent legal advice when divorcing.

The verbal agreement is going to be a "he said-she said"
situation. In any event, even if the agreement were proved,
it would not release your husband from his obligation as a
co-signer of the loan. The loan company is not bound in any
way by an agreement between your husband and his ex. He
signed and he is responsible for the loan.

Try to see what it will take for him to get a release from
the loan company. As for suing the ex---sure throw some
more money away. A lawyer will gladly take your case on a
per hour arrangement with a $5K or so retainer up front.
