In 2005 I got divorced, in the divorce I signed off on everything, including the house- I filed a quit claim through my lawyer. There was 2 mortgages on the home in both our names, and she was according to the divorce papers to remove my name from the loans and have them in her sole name. I was to retain posession of my truck and my Harley and that was it. The truck was paid off, and the Harley was a gift and in her sole name on the loan…. 2 months later, she filed bankruptcy. The Harley was re-posessed- and now I have judgements against me for the mortgages since she never removed my name from the loans. Are my only options to pay it- or file bankruptcy myself? She didnt stick to anything we agreed on in the divorce, but is she accountable?

product sold without limitation of liability
I have sold seat belt extenders to several people in different states. I am selling these extenders to people who have XYZ cars, where seat belt extenders are not supplied by the XYZ auto manufacturer.I don’t manufacture the extenders, but get them from other auto dealer parts departments, as I have found they ”fit” the XYZ cars.
I have a hold harmless agreemnet signed and witnessed from each purchaser, which says that i’m not reponsible for any injury or damage resulting from the use of the extender. It goes on to say the undersigned (purchaser) assumes all risk.
I did not supply a warranty limitaion statement at the time of sale.
My questions are:
!). Can I be held responsible for injury/loss if the extender contributes to an injury/loss?
2). Would a warranty limitation statement Seat belt extenders are provided ”AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. protect me?
Might any other statements protect me from liabilty?
3). What might I do about the several sales already made?
Possibly a letter of product recall with refund or a registered letter containing the above warranty disclaimer.

Proof of service?
My husband and I moved out of our BX apartment in March after almost a year of fighting for repairs with our LL. We did not have a lease, we were month to month. We relocated to CT in March, and in the mail today we receive a notice of judgement the amount of $$ equal to the months we did not pay rent. The apt was in horrible conditions, with an illegal tenant in the basement, holes in the ceiling etc. I have kept all of the evidence since then. He tried throwing us out, but the judge always found in our favor. How is it possible now in civil court to get a judgement when we were not even aware of the claim? We filed an appropriate change of address and everything. His attny says we have 30 days to contact his office or they will garnish wages and seek property. How is this possible?
