Student loans

Asked May 6, 2008, 06:36 PM — 4 Answers
What can a person do if they consolidated a student loan with a spouse and later got divorced. The student loan is a stipulation in the divorce decree, but apparently can not be upheld in family court. The question is now that the ex spouse has not paid their portion from the divorce decree, they are now given a default letter and 30 days to pay the full amount. What does the one that has been paying all along have to do? Any suggestions would help right now!

Take them back to family court ( divorce court) to get them to be ordered to pay, or face possible contempt charges

I tried that they held him in contempt for not paying the child support but I was told that they could not really do anything about the student loans...they gave him a purge amount which was a measly 2750 of the 16000 he owed, he paid it and hasn't paid anything since, the student loans forget about he hasn't made a payment since the divorce was final in 05, and they did nothing about it.

Have you tried to sue him in court for his share of the debt, get a judgement against him for his share ? But the family court should be able for do something if they wanted, like put him in jail for a week or two as a warning if they wanted to. Since he is not obeying their order.

I guess maybe, but at this point by the time I get into court it will be to late! The state of Florida doesn't always work the fastest.
