Legal Question in Family Law in California
debt
I am filing divorce. We bought a car when we got married, and we still pay for them. Since we divorce, I take the car. My question is, do I have to take car loan also? During our marrige, he didn't pay for the car loan because he had no job. Can I ask him to pay half what I've paid for it? Also, he made a lot of debt under my name. He was given credit card under my name, and he was the authorized user. He used it too much, and now I have too much debts because of him. Can I sue him for that?

Usually, community assets and community debts should be divided equally, regardless of whose name is on the title or obligation. See a lawyer for help.
