Credit Card Responsiblity

[DannyJ]

I noticed in another thread that someone asked if she would be responsible for credit card debt in her husband's name. The response she got was no. In my situation, I was an authorized user, not a co-applicant, on the credit card. My husband stopped paying for this card while we were separated after he maxed it out. We went to court for the division of all our assets after our divorce and the judge ruled that I have to pay half of this credit card debt. The card is not in my name. Should I contest this? If I took him back to court, what are my chances of this being overruled?

You probably live in a community property state........Community property also means community debt. This means that you are both to split all assets, and all debt.
