In Ohio, if you sue your husband for divorce, the court may order him to pay alimony, and may order that the credit card debt be split between you if it was incurred while you were still married. Further, inherited property is generally regarded by the courts as separate property so the court would not likely force you to split the value of that with your husband in the divorce.
