Today, I had to file for bankruptcy because my ex-wife didn't want to pay for the house she didn't want me to have in the divorce, and didn't bother to have my name removed from the loan before she filed bankruptcy herself. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wife said she wants a divorce. Three days ago, I added her onto the title to my house, my bank accounts, and my business. FML
Today, I got a call from the county’s courthouse where I used to live saying I was being sued for fraud and expected in court to defend myself. Apparently, my ex took a loan out in my name and now I get to pay $2300 worth of legal fees and restitution to this loan company. FML
Today, I was on a 3-way call with my wife and the bank. The bank said we didn't qualify for school loans, which means I have to drop out. As soon as the bank hung up, my wife stayed on the line to tell me she wants a divorce and that she regrets our marriage. FML
Today, my ex-wife's lawyer threatened to default on the divorce because I have not signed the divorce papers yet. Divorce papers that I have not been served yet. FML
Today, my ex-wife announced that she's taking me to court for child support. Her kids were just my stepkids and we weren't even married a year, but she apparently has a pretty good lawyer on her side. FML
Today, I’m trying to recover financially from my divorce by quickly selling my house, but my ex-wife weed-killered the word "Bastard" into the front lawn, and the woman who had put in an offer to buy withdrew her offer. FML
Today, I had to bail my ex-husband out of jail. He didn't want his new wife to get mad at him. FML
Today, I had to sell my wedding ring to help me pay for my divorce. FML
Today, I found out that my now ex-fiancé was still married to her ex throughout the entire relationship. What I didn't realize was that I ended up paying for the divorce, and 3 months later she got married to someone else. FML
Today, I had to dig into my savings to help my parents pay for their divorce. FML

Dumbass... she can't "remove your name" from the loan. When you originally signed the loan papers, you made a deal with the bank funding the loan. THEY have to remove your name from the papers... your wife can't. And the bank won't... why should they? The only way to properly handle this in a divorce is to stipulate that your wife has to refinance in her name only... so the old loan with your name on it is paid off. If you didn't include this stipulation in your divorce agreement, then you had a moron for an attorney... whether you hired one or you acted on your own. Consider it an expensive life lesson, and look on the bright side: now you're much better prepared to deal with your next divorce.

YDI - I agree it sucks, but isn't something important like taking your name off of the title to the house you just lost something important you may wanna remember when going through a divorce. Especially knowing she didn't want you to have it, and she got it!!!

Congratulations on blaming your ex for something that is YOUR responsibility to take care of.

He can now take her to court for contempt if she was required in the divorce decree to continue payments and/or refinance.

SHE didn't bother having your name removed from the house? I'm thinking there should be some personal responsibility here. Why didn't YOU make sure your name was removed?

I had to do this... I had to sign for my name to be removed... Unless this is super early in the divorce I don't know why you wouldnt have done the same.. My ex had to get a new loan in his name... Oh well it all sucks and she is obviously a ****.
