I had it in the divorce decree that he paid any additional L fees above the retainer. So he thought he would get money back but instead he owed more. He filed bankruptcy within a few months of the divorce being final. Everything that was in joint name came back to me even though he was ordered by the court(via the decree) to pay it. I ended up filing bankruptcy as well since I couldn't cover everything, in April of 2009. It was discharged in July of 2009. He made my life a living He!! for 2 years legally.
It's funny now. I don't go out of my way to talk to him but we can get things done for the kids which is the really important thing. My alimony disappears in 4 years and the kids will come off child support as they reach 18/graduate whichever comes last.
It wouldn't hurt to know what to expect. Crossing my fingers for you.
