Thank you

Re: marriage
You should carefully consider whether you want to be paying for those debts during the marriage and how that will affect your standard of living. Having a prenup for second time married couples is not a bad idea if you want to keep your property and debts separate.
As always please contact a local attorney in your area before taking legal action.
Good luck!

Re: marriage
You're not responsibility for his separate debts (debts he incurred prior to the marriage). You might want to keep all of your assets separate. A prenup and legal counsel might be a real good idea.
