Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Michigan
credit before and after marriage
my girfriend and i are talking about marriage. however, she has a concern about my credit affecting her after we get married. take the worst credit in the world, and times it by 10, and that is my credit. she currently has a pretty good credit score. she wants to wait to get married due to this issue. how would my negative credit affect her credit after we were married?

Re: credit before and after marriage
Her credit will not be affected unless the two of you apply for a joint loan and then it may be more difficult because of your credit. Her credit by itself will never be affected.
Consideration should be given to whether she is just using the credit issue as an excuse.
