Here goes....I was married only three and a half {verylong, unhappy years) divorced now. My wife and I were friends with another couple and I fell in love with the other guys wife...she also felt the same thing. As soon as we realized our feelings for one another we told them both, needless to say we all split up and divorced. I am now with the other women, engaged and plan to marry soon. In the whole process of all this...my ex and her ex never told us that they also had feelings for each other all along...they have just played the victims. They got together as soon as we all split up and were inseperable. That didnt last long, they have since broke up. Since the break up they have both been unbearable! He calls all the time professing his undying love...and shes just been a bitch. She begged me to keep the electric bill in my name until she could come up with enough money to have it transfered to her name, which I did out of pity....she wouldnt pay the bill and I had it shut off. Problem is it still has a hundred and twenty dollar bill on it, and they have threatened to cut my current electric off if I dont pay it. I talked to her about this and she said she would pay half, IF she could come up with the money. In our divorce it says I have to sign the land deed over to her...I dont want it anyway...but havent signed and told her i would if she would pay her bill. Still she refuses. She went to the lawyer and they say I will have to sign it and pay court costs if it goes to court....so once again she has screwed me..and now Ill have to pay her stinking bill. I hate her!! No matter what...dont try to be nice to an ex...no matter the circumstances...it wont work...youll still get screwed!

You need to get a good lawyer to defend you. As far as court costs are concerned, you could also counter-sue for them using the fact that she refused to pay a bill incurred while you were out of the home and that you just want your money back. If nothing else, take her to civil court and sue her for the bill and court costs there. Just make sure you keep any and all reciepts and any letters from the electric company. You might also want to place an ad in your local paper stating that you will now only be responsible for bills you alone create.
