If my ex-husband is selling the car that we split payments on per our divorce decree, am I still liable for my half of the payment?
In our divorce decree, the car is listed as his sole and separate property but in our community debts it lists that we are to split the vehicle payment in half. He is some what selling the car to another individual and I want to know if I’m still responsible for my half of the payment?

So if it is his sole property then he has a right to sell it. But if you still owe half of the payments you are going to have to pay off your share regardless if the sale covers the entire loan amount? That does not seem right here. If he sells it then he has to pay off the loan in full because the agreement will call for it I am sure. Someone needs to read your agreement here and tell you what your options are under your state law. And hurry. Good luck.
