Your dead ex-spouse is truly a deadbeat.

You have been divorced for a long time and have moved on, or so you thought. Now that your ex has truly moved on, you find that creditors do not care what your divorce decree stated in regard to paying your pre-divorce debts.
In many states, whatever is acquired after the marriage and before the legal separation is treated as belonging to both spouses equally.
This situation is yet another reason to be thoughtful when accumulating debt. It may come back to you even after the headstone has been raised.
