Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York
marriage and credit card debit
If my boyfriend and I get married, can I be held responsible for debt that he incurred prior to the marriage.
Also, he has a lien placed on his bank account. If I allow him to cash paychecks into an account in my name is that against the law?

You can not be held liable for your husbands debts unless you have accepted such responsibility... as far as the bank account, there is nothing illegal about that. Please feel free to contact my office if you'd like. 2127098303.
