What to do about a car loan and divorce?
I was divorced 3 years ago. My ex-husband came and picked up the car we had jointly purchased in another state to take it back there. I found out a few months later that he had defaulted on the loan and they were coming to pick up the vehicle. That was the last I had heard from the loan company. Now, 3 years later they have served me with a subpoena and are suing me, even though he took possession of the vehicle before the repossession. I was never working and had no income to secure the loan when we purchased the vehicle. How can I be responsible for the loan?
