As a general rule, a person is not responsible for a spouse's student loan, even if incurred during the marriage. There are some exceptions, though. For instance, if a student loan is incurred during the marriage and the degree was used to start a business and the spouses are splitting the business.
If the loan was incurred before the marriage, the loan is almost never split.
