Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
responsible for debts after separation?
My wife and I have no debts together. Just married over 1 year. When we separate, would I be responsible for any debts she makes until final divorce or any debts she already has or would make and not be prompt on payments, would this affect my credit ?

Re: responsible for debts after separation?
Spouses can be held mutually responsible for each other's debts in the scenario you have described, absent a specific agreement, usually incorporated in the form of a property settlement agreement which specifies otherwise.
