Okay, so I called because I recently got divorced. I have three children and my former spouse,

when the court ordered all of the debt and all the things, My former spouse was court ordered to pay off a credit

card that's in my name. Now, we sold our house, I got all the money from the house, paid the

lawyer, paid all of my other debts except this one credit card. And so my question is, so I got a decent

tax return. And so I was wondering, do I go ahead and just pay it off with the tax return from my money?

Or do I just let him pay it as he is able to?

He actually still owes me another $14,000 that's coming out of his 401K that hasn't come through yet.

That's still being worked on.

But he didn't get anything from the house because of...

What's the balance on the credit card?

It's about $2,200.

What do you make?

I am a stay-at-home mom, so I get about 1,900 in child support.

I have a 3-year-old, and then a 9- and an 8-year-old, and so I stay home with them,

and I use the child support in alimony to cover our bills, and then once my 3-year-old goes through a free day.
