Headed for D - Trying to move on

[Painter]

Removing yourself from a credit card doesn't always mean you are off the hook for the bill, depending on your state and the legal status of your M/S/D.

You can, however close the card down if you are the main account holder.

Have you set up appointments with any other lawyers? It sounds like you need some outside help and suggestions, I feel that you are not seeing all your options.
