Legal Question in Tax Law in California
tax liability from marrigage to spouse owing back taxes
If I marry a man who owes considerable back taxes, will I then also become obligated for these back taxes as the spouse (both IRS and State of California)?

Not for his seperate property. The problem if you intertwine finances (and, really, even if you do not) there will be difficulties. NOW is the time for your future spouse to address the back taxes. They might be able to be greatly reduced.
