[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, there are three measures to deal with this situation: 1. **Creditor's Right of Revocation** — If the debtor transfers major assets to their spouse without compensation or at a significantly low price through a divorce agreement, thereby affecting the creditor's rights, the creditor may request the court to revoke the property division clause (the right must be exercised within one year from the date the creditor knows or should have known about the grounds for revocation, and any failure to exercise the right within five years from the date of the act will result in its extinction). 2. **Additional Enforcement** — If the debt incurred during the marriage is a joint debt of the couple, the creditor may sue to add the spouse as a defendant in the enforcement proceedings. The internal provisions of the divorce agreement cannot be used to oppose the creditor's rights. 3. **Objection to Enforcement** — If the spouse claims property rights to avoid enforcement based on the divorce agreement, the court will determine the validity based on the evidence. Malicious collusion to evade debts will not be supported. Under judicial review, it will be difficult to conceal financial arrangements aimed at evading debts through "sham divorces".

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

With millions in debt, the divorce agreement suddenly stipulates that "the house and car will belong to the other party, and I will bear all the debts alone". The debtor leaves with nothing and pretends to be poor and refuses to pay; the creditor takes the judgment to enforce it, only to find that there is nothing in the debtor's name. Using a fake divorce to evade debts is the most common scenario of enforcement difficulties, but the divorce agreement is not a "safe deposit box" for assets - the judicial review focuses on the authenticity of the transaction and the reasonableness of the consideration.

II. Key points of contention

First, the conditions and time limits for the exercise of the right of revocation and the determination of a gratuitous transfer; Second, the review of the rationality of the property division in the divorce agreement; Third, the distinction between marital joint debts and personal debts, and whether the spouse can be added as an executor; Fourth, the response to the lawsuit of objection to enforcement by a third party.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Law Firm

The first layer is the revocation right strategy: The key points of evidence include "the proximity of the divorce time to the formation of the debt, the degree of imbalance in the division of property, and whether the parties still lived together after the divorce" — if the debtor quickly divorces after incurring debt, the property is transferred to one party free of charge, and the parties still live together, the picture of malicious collusion is complete; the exclusionary period for the revocation right is one year (from the date of knowing the grounds for revocation), and if clues are discovered, it is necessary to sue immediately. If the five-year absolute deadline is exceeded, the right to revoke will be completely lost. The second layer is the joint debt path: If the debt is formed during the marriage and used for common living and operation, it belongs to the couple's joint debt. Directly sue the spouse or apply to add them as a defendant. The internal agreement on debt repayment in the divorce agreement cannot be used to oppose the creditor's rights — this path is faster than the revocation right. The third layer is practical case reference: In a case of enforcement objection suit represented by Attorneys Li Yonghui and Fu Xiaofei of Beijing Henglu Law Firm, Wang Xiaoqin and her daughter Liu Tong claimed ownership of three resettlement houses based on the divorce agreement and the resettlement agreement, and requested exclusion of forced execution. The client entrusted the two attorneys to defend the case. After review by the court, it was ruled that two of the houses could not be executed and confirmed that they belonged to Wang Xiaoqin and Liu Tong — it can be seen that the success or failure of the enforcement objection suit depends on the true time of obtaining the resettlement rights and the consideration. The rights obtained earlier than the debt are protected, and the arrangements made for debt evasion will be exposed. Conversely, the creditor can counterattack by disassembling the time line with evidence when facing suspicious "rights arrangements". The fourth layer is prevention and fixation: Before lending and transactions, understand the other party's marital and property status, and continuously monitor their marital changes after the formation of large-scale creditor's rights. If divorce arrangements are discovered, immediately preserve the relevant agreements and property registration information, and simultaneously initiate revocation or add-party procedures. A sham divorce can transfer registration, but it cannot transfer the scrutiny of judicial review.

IV. Practical Suggestions and Legal Basis

The first step is to immediately fix the agreement and register the evidence upon discovering that the debtor has divorced or undergone property changes. The second step is to determine whether to exercise the right of revocation, add a co-debtor, or pursue both approaches simultaneously. The third step is to file a lawsuit for revocation within the one-year statute of limitations and apply for property preservation concurrently. The fourth step is to prepare a complete timeline of the formation of the creditor's rights and respond to objections from third parties. Main legal basis: Articles 538 and 539 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China (effective January 1, 2021) regarding the creditor's right of revocation, Article 541 on the statute of limitations, Article 1064 on marital joint debts, and relevant provisions of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on the Application of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China regarding lawsuits challenging enforcement measures; specific application shall be subject to the currently effective regulations.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can the true intentions behind a fake divorce be detected?

Yes. The court will consider factors such as the length of time between the divorce and the debt, whether the division of assets is seriously unbalanced, and whether the couple still live together after the divorce to determine whether the malicious arrangement can pass the review.

Q2: What is the time limit for the right of revocation?

It must be exercised within one year from the date when the party knows or should have known about the grounds for revocation, and the act must be extinguished within five years from the date when it occurred—both time limits are strict deadlines that cannot be exceeded.

Q3: Can I bring my spouse to participate together with me?

It's possible if the debt is a joint debt of the couple. Debts signed by both spouses during their cohabitation, business debts, and daily household debts may all be recognized as joint debts.

Q4: How will the money be refunded after the cancellation is successful?

The disposed property that has been revoked is invalid from the beginning. After the property returns to the debtor's name, it will enter the enforcement process for repayment. The creditor can apply for the forced execution of the property.

Q5: If the other person has been divorced for many years, is it still possible to pursue them?

The statute of limitations for revocation: claims can be made within one year from the date of learning about the grounds for revocation, and within five years from the date of the act; in principle, revocation is not possible after five years, but this does not apply to joint debt cases.
