I was with someone for a few years and we got a credit card together. She was the main name on the card and I was just a card holder who was also an authorized user. Over the course of the relationship it got maxed out. * or 5 months later we split and I took my name off of the card and credit account… fast forward to now which is about another 4 months I am being contacted by her mother saying they are going to take legal action against me if I don’t pay half of it. Am I responsible for paying

Based on Nebraska law:
- As an authorized user, you're typically not liable for the credit card debt.
- A person can typically only be held liable if they're a joint account holder or cosigner.
However, you should consult a lawyer for personalized advice.
