Legal Question in Family Law in California
If I marry someone who owes $8000 in court fines, does that debt become mine? Can the courts come after me and my business for the money, or is it soley his because he incurred it prior to the marriage?

It is his sole debt, but they can come after community property to pay it. So you'll need a good pre-nup and a financial plan if you want to keep your property separate and protected from this debt.
