Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I loaned $27,000. to a friend on March 7, 2008 with a standardized (Office Depot form) properly notarized promissory note document.

When she was unable to pay off the debt I renewed the loan with new, notarized promissory notes on June 2009, March 2010, Nov.1,2010.

On July 2010 she started paying me $20/ month. I asked her to increase the payments to $100/ month. She said she couldn't. The note is signed personally by her. What is her husbands liability for his wifes personal debt? I know he can easily afford to help her. I would rather mediate than litigate.

Thank you

In many cases, the liability of the wife would not become the liability of the husband. However, if you sue her for the amount and get a judgment and put pressure on her by starting to collect against her,it might pressure her to seek help from her husband.
