Jo and Kelly Divorce 2000.
At time of Divorce Kelly has visa card (no outstanding charges balance due: $0.00). Kelly elects to keep it and it is reflected that she is soley responsible for her card and future charges on signed and filed court documents.
Kelly charges up $10,000 and forgets about it.
2003 - bank contacts Jo about bad debt with Kelly. Jo copies the bank the divorce decree and Kelly agrees to accept responsibility..
2005
Bill collector contacts Jo about same bad debt. Jo explains that he submitted the required information to the bank AND faxes his divorce decree to bill collector.
Bill collector sents notice of intent to sue Jo.
Kelly nowhere to be found.
Can the visa / bill collector legally collect from Jo

Hi denise_olivas
Welcome to the forums. Though you have notified the bank and debt collectors about the divorce decree, but you need to consult your state lawyer and clear this query.
In my general view, when visa / bill collector have been legally notified with all the necessary documents, there is no reason of Joe being sued. But it will be appropriate if you can seek advice from your lawyer.
