My husband and I are going to work out a separation agreement. The main issue is of course the custody and care of our child. However, he leased a truck 3 years ago and still has a year left. At the time I thought I co-signed for the lease, but it turns out the ownership shows my name as the lessee. I can't recall if that was how the paperwork was worded, but now he is threatening to hand me the keys and stop paying. Of course he is already 30,000kms over the allowed kms because we were going to buy if out.
Can he do that? Am I liable for this? I've got a call into the loan agency to find out why the loan is in my name when it should have been in his. I don't know what I can do about it.
He is also telling me that since I have a credit card and line of credit that are only in my name that he will NOT help pay for them. He's even whining about me using my paycheque to make payments every month as that is "household" money and it is not his debt. Of course the money owed on these are from car repairs, groceries etc.
Is this true? Is this debt considered joint? I'm thinking I will take on the credit card debt and line of credit (total of about $2000) personally in exchange for him signing an agreement to finish the lease of the truck and either pay any penalties upon return, or buy out the vehicle. I can't even drive the damn thing!
