I have called the credit card company and have asked them to take me off and they won't do it since I am the primary. My only choice is to wait for the ex to pay off the balance and close the card.
Yes dispute the address. As for the card I'd contact them and set it up to not allow any further charges. Ex wives have known the be vindictive from time to time
+1 you can't be removed until it's paid off. But you can close the account or freeze further spending on it.
If I were you I would make sure it's paid every month don't trust the ex will just do the right thing. I would also close the account. This will hurt your score but will insure no further debit.
If you have other accounts this being closed won't damage your standing too much as UTL % will be determined by overall limits. But this account will show maxed hurting you some.
