ANSWER: No. If the truck is owned by him in his own name (and not jointly with you), you are not liable for damages that are his fault. And this is true whether you and he are married to one another and living together, or married to one another and living separately, whether legally separarted or illegally separated. In essence, you are not responsible for your husband's separate debts.
