Re: I need to know
If you are doing a dissolution, then you and he can discuss who is responsible for the debt, and incorporate that into your dissolution. A dissolution can only be done if both of you are in agreement about what happens to your assets, liabilities, children, etc. If you are getting a divorce (i.e. neither one of you is in agreement with what the other wants), then, yes, you would both be responsible for the debt. However, if it came to a trial, you might be able to convince a judge that it is wrong to hold you responsible for 1/2 of the debt.
