Divorce & Bad CreditAs an added pain and complication of going through a divorce many people also end up with damaged credit reports. Your credit often ends up hurt because your bills end up being put on hold while the settlement is worked out. It is a matter of priority for most people. During the break up of a marriage there are many things that will take priority over ensuring all your bills are paid on time. It is also common for people to avoid paying bills that they believe are their partner's responsibility. This unfortunate reaction to the circumstances will often hurt both partners' credit and should be avoided if possible. My advise is to try to ensure the minimum payments are made on any joint accounts you have, even if you feel the debt is not yours. You can always ask for a repayment in the settlement. Please do not allow your actions to be guided by potential vindictive feelings. You will likely only make things worse for yourself.
