    Physically forced to sign student loan documents for HIS son

    I was physically forced to sign student loan documents for my abusive husband's (now my ex) biological son (not mine). I finally moved out and got a FRO (Final Restraining Order) against husband for domestic violence. I was forced to declare bankruptcy because of the financial abuse perpetrated by him. (He did the same to his third wife too.) Student loans are not wiped out by bankruptcy. I have a court order that states he is to payoff the student loans or assume them- he ignores the NJ orders because he ran off to Florida.  He does not own anything (transferred it all to his adult children) and he is on Social Security so his ex wives cannot touch anything.  Is there ANYTHING I can do?  Here I am, a survivor of domestic violence, I have a FRO against him for domestic violence, trying to get ahead, yet I am saddled with the the loans that are his by Court Order and according to his divorce agreement with his first wife (and mother of the son)....NEITHER are recognized by the Federal Student Loan Group- Direct Loan! (OR am I speaking with the wrong people?) His son has been in the military and refuses to make good on the student loans either.

    Any ideas?  Thank you.

    While a court can allocate debt within a divorce, it cannot interfere with the lender's rights.  That is, if you are liable on the loan the divorce cannot change that. 

    I replied on the other board you posted on also.  Don't recall which board that was.
