A brief summary of whats going. In the year 2013 i started divorce perceding and left the home me and my family resided in. In December of 2015 the divorce was finalize and i was awarded the home. The house was vacant form 12-15 til September-30-2017. Between that time i resided at another location , with a lease to support that allegation. Once awarded the home i went by the home to see the condition, change the locks and sercure the home. I would make periodic visits to the home just to check on it.

In the early part of 9/17 my current wife who has great credit with BGE at our current address tried to transfer services in her name to the property in mention (((REDACTED))). When they realize she was married to me they deined her the wright to do so, because there was an unpaid bill attached to the porpety dating back 2013 to current totaling $10,300.

This just a breif over view of whats going on with my situatuation it gets much more invovled.I like to apologize if didn't follow the proper format here however my e-mail  (jlowellh@icloud.com)

It doesn't matter where you were living. The big question is who's name is the utilities in.

If they are in your name, then the utility does have the right to require you to pay the past due balances before they have them switched over. Because you and your new wife are now legally married and presumably would be living together, they are not going to allow the services to be restarted just because you happen to put them in her name. This would go for ANY utility.

If by chance you have the divorce decree stating you are not responsible, you are also still legally responsible for the bill to the utility. The decreee would just allow you to go after your ex for any balance you had to pay.

But a bigger question is how did the bill get that high? If this is back from 2013 and the house did not become vacant until 2015, how could they still have had utilities on in 2015 with a delinquent balance? Utilities won't let you get a couple months behind, and this is a couple of years.  Or was the person(s) living there, living without any utiltiies turned on?

It is also odd that you let the house sit vacant for over a year and a half.  But would still be able to go there to periodically check on it.   Was the utilities turned on during this time?  If so who's name were they in?
