Am I liable for my husband's credit cards if we seperate or divorce. my name currently is not on any of these account. Also when we married we purchased a home on my credit history. I requested that his name be listed on deed.

Re: finances/divorce
On the credit cards almost certainly not. My only hesitancy on that issue would depend on what any credit card debt was spent on. If it went toward "family" or "marital" expenses he could possibly argue that these are marital debts. As for the home, if you're both on title it's "marital property" and surely something subject to being divided as part of a divorce case. Even if only you paid for the house it likely doesn't matter...once you both own it it becomes "marital property."
