Another legal question

[BlackSymbiote]

I recently got a divorce, it has been finalized, and according to the divorce papers my ex-wife is responsible for the back rent to the apartment we lived in.

Even though my name was on the lease, and was first on the lease, am I still legally obligated to pay any of the rent?

You might want to ask your lawyer and not a bunch of comic book/movie fans who the majority is under 21.

Don't pay it and wait to see if she sues you.

True, but there are some lawyers on this board.

I'm no lawyer, but I'd think since the divorce papers state she's responsible for the rent, it's her responsibility not yours. You've got legal documentation to back it up if she doesn't pay and they come after you.

That's my line of thinking too, but I want confirmation.

I'm not a lawyer or anything but I say that if the landlords sue they're going to sue you.
