According to the Torah, divorce is accomplished simply by writing a bill of divorce (this is what you refer to as the decree), handing it to the wife, and sending her away. It is not necessary for a husband to personally hand the document to the wife.

Incidentally, a civil divorce is not sufficient to dissolve a Jewish marriage. As far as Jewish law is concerned, a couple remains married until the woman receives the bill of divorce.

If you get a divorce and it is stated in the divorce papers that you are not responsible for bills that you are not the primary account holder do you still have to pay them?

Hopefully, you had a divorce lawyer. You should ask your lawyer about the meaning of that clause. Your lawyer will have the entire divorce decree and not just the sentence you quoted. It may mean after your divorce, it may mean after a particular date, or it may refer to the fact that the two of you kept separate finances and your partner ran up large debts without your knowledge. Check with your lawyer.


Is a parent responsible for college if not stated in divorce?

If it isn't in written in a decree, then a parent isn't responsible for it. So, no, you would not be responsible to pay for college unless it were spelled out as part of the settlement that you made when you got divorced.When a child turns 18, legally they are an adult and all support stops from the non-custodial parent, unless it says otherwise in the divorce decree. That doesn't mean that it isn't a nice or good thing to work it out with your ex and try to split the difference in the educational expenses of college or pay for some of it, whether your are obligated to do so or not.
