How to force debt repayment

[Tiredofthis]

The divorce was final two years ago. In the division of assets she got everything in the house, which she had taken as she left. Its worth was about $25K, the teenage children as custody with me paying child support.
She paid nothing and lost nothing.

There was also $25K worth of family debt on MY 3 credit cards. In the division of assets she also was assigned the debt. After 2 years nothing has been paid. Debt is still in my name and in judgment. My credit was destroyed, I could not pay debt and child support.

How can I force her to either repay me or at least repay the credit? She has the money in 401K. Can I file judgments against her? Can I sue her in small claims court for each of the credit cards using the final as proof of debt?

Was I double screwed or what?

She still has an obligation to pay the debt. You can reopen the case for enforcement. It is possible to ask the court to take her existing assets to retire the debt.

Technically you are not out anything because no one paid the debt. But I think there is a better argument that nonpayment has damaged you financially.

You don't need a small claims case - you can enforce under the old case for a $50 filing fee.
