Re: premarital debt
You asked about pre-marital debt.
You need to speak with a lawyer representing just you about how to protect your assets in a relationship with this man. There's nothing wrong with bankruptcy, but it needs to be done and complete with no loose ends.
You should be able to retain a lawyer to deal with these questions for less than a few hours work, if that.
