Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

As a general rule, if a liability is brought into a marriage it remains solely the liability of the party who brings it. In otherwords, if the wife has $10,000 in credit card debt before she gets married, the debt remains hers in a divorce. A prenuptial is always a good idea, though, and there is nothing wrong with a prenuptial that says that each party will keep their own premarital debts (or even marital debts) upon divorce. However, creditors are going to go after the person whose name is on the debt, and a prenuptial agreement between spouses has no effect on who creditors go after. Creditors don't sign the prenuptial, so they can ignore it. A marriage alone doesn't make a spouse responsible for the other spouse's debt, though.
