Re: separation financial responsibilities
The Court in SC isn't concerned whether the debts are in your name, his name or both. The question is when incurred and for what purpose. As long as incurred during the marriage and used for marital purpose, the fact that it's solely in your name is not a big problem.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
