So I got married, cosigned on a car loan. The divorce decree says she takes the car and all related debt. Obviously that does not get me out of being a cosigner, I still have the related responsibility. She was 75 days late and was hurting my credit so I paid up. But my lawyer told me if she does not pay, I can make her pay me back. Contempt of court. So I know if I go to my lawyer he will charge me alot for me to get my $1000 back from her. So I want to do it myself. How do I do this?

I am in the Army. Tried talking to legal but they wont help me. They just told me to go talk to my lawyer. Should I try bugging them again for help?
