Your husband's personal signature alone does not expose you, i.e. the community, to liability. In Arizona, there is a 6 year statute of limitations within which to file an action for breach. It's a little unclear as to who was paying back the corporate debt. You're welcome to contact my office for a consultation, and we do offer telephone consults.
