Re: Child support
In certain circumstances a spouse can be held accountable for any and all outstanding debts and obligations a spouse may have, even if the obligations predate the marriage.
You need to have at least 2 consultations with an atty, prior to your marriage. You need full written financial disclosures for the two of you; and an open discussion about your respective financial status, before an atty.
GOOD LUCK,
