in 2001 I opened a prepaid verizon cell phone account. When my ex husband was released from jail in dec 2002 i changed over to a billed customer account and had two cell phones in my name that we used. Without my knowledge he was dealing drugs and ran the bill up to 1700.00 in just two months. The bill has gone to collections and when they sent me arbitration summons i got scared and started making payments for awhile which i learned renewed the debt otherewise it would have been uncollectable. In my divorce decree it lists him as owing 1600 of the bill and my debt was only 175. I paid probably 250 toward the debt. I am now remarried (they served me as my former name) and i am being sued civilly by the collection company. Will the divorce decree stating it is his debt be enough to dismiss? i am the sole provider for a family of 6 and can't afford to pay for his drug trafficking calls..any insight you can give would be great.

also he is currently incarcerated for selling drugs till 2017 so i cannot sue him to recover the money either.
also i was thinking of counterclaiming the extra money i paid that was not my portion of the debt to have it returned..would that be possible?
 
Divorce decree should be sufficient. Requesting the return of the overpayment may be worth trying, the worst that would happen is the judge says no.

You may be able to sue even though he is incarcerated , if ha has any assets.
