Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

Pre-existing debt prior to marriage

I am residing in Georgia and it has come to my attention that my fiance has some outstanding debts. I have been a collector in my home state of Missouri and am aware that in some states I could be held responsible. My question is in the state of Georgia will I be held responsible for her pre-existing debts once we get married?
