It depends on the wording of what your husband did. You need to have the pertinent documents reviewed by an attorney.

Re: Divorce
what is marital debt is a question for the judge or jury based on the particular facts of your case. Generally, any debt brought into a marriage would be a separate debt of the party who incurred the debt and any debt incurred after the marriage would be a marital debt subject to equitable distribution. This is a legal issue, which, if you can't decide among yourselves, will have to be adjudicated and decided by the judge.
