When we split my ex was not working. We had two lines of credit, one for each of us. I kept making monthly payments to her account and at one time transferred a huge chunk from her line of credit to mine. Before that I paid a credit card from her line of credit. At our settlement meeting, her lawyer refused to give me credit for the payments that I made plus added the credit card payment from her line of credit to my account. I still can't figure out how it happened and why my lawyer agreed to do that. I was a clear double hit for me.
Based on that I wouldn't recommend being nice to your ex. Move on with your life and don't worry about whatever happens to her credit ratings. If she needs money from you she'll ask you and then you make sure you get her to agree that such advances will be applied against final settlements.
