Your H is delirious. He walked away, kept a bike with a loan that is in your name, and expects you to spend money on court to get 9k back that is rightfully yours? Typical WAS BS. I suggest you don't discuss any financial arrangements with him without a presence of your L. Seems like the best would be to put your agreement in writing, making payout period as short as possible, and him waving rights for spousal support.
