Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
If I get married, will I become resonsible for my new wifes past debt? A student loan she was cosigner on was never paid
3 Answers from Attorneys
Generally, liabilities incurred prior to marriage would remain the separate liability of your wife, assuming you did not sign the promissory note. However, it is possible for separate liabilities to become marital liabilities; one instance may be if marital funds are used to make payments for the liability. I recommend consulting an attorney in your area to review the details of your situation to provide advice on how to prevent the liability becoming a marital liability.
No, unless you sign a document saying you are responsible. Want to know the law? Sign up for our free newsletter on varies areas of the law by sending an email to [email protected] and requesting the newsletter, or go to www.ConsumerLawyerHelp.com
