Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Me and my boyfriend are planning to get married soon. My credit score is low and his is high will my credit score affect his? I have like 10k in credit card that are consolidated and im paying for them every month and 17k in deferred student loans. We just purchased a home in his name only will my bad debt become his? If my credit card lenders decided to want there payment all at once could they try and take our home since he will be married to me. Even though my debt is only 10k and our home is almost 200k.

Without a prenuptual agreement, his income becomes 1/2 yours. Therefore, they could seek to collect your debt from you, and that would include the portion of his income that belongs to you. However, if you are paying timely, I cannot see where they have the right to sue for the full amount.
