Re: Marriage and preious debt

Typically a spouse is not responsible for the other spouses debts incurred before marriage. However a creditor often goes after both parties in a marriage for debts. I would make sure the creditor is aware of the nature of the separate property character of the debt.

As always please consult with a local attorney prior to taking any legal action

Good luck,
