If I had a few debt situations before I got married and it happen to get written off but another creditor or agency paid for my written off credit. Can they loo to my spouse to pay off my debt if I Can not.?
My understanding is unless you live in a community property state or your spouse was on the account she has no responsibility for your debt. I ran into this same question after suffering some debt fallout from my previous marriage. When I remarried and faced bankruptcy my fear was that it would drag down my new wife as well. Since she can easily get credit with my last name and with companies I'm in default with it seems we are unattached in the credit world.
