If you have signed contracts in both names (example: car, house, cell phones, loans) then you will be responsible.  If one party doesn't make said payments then they will come after second party.  If there are not contractual agreements that both parties have signed, I'm not completely sure how that works but I don't see how they can hold you responsible. I'm in the U.S.  I just know that contracts are enforceable regardless of divorce.

From what I understand generally about estate law, your parents' debts should not roll over to you and your siblings when they pass away. However, if you or your siblings are co-owners or partners with your parents in any business enterprise or are gurantors to any loans taken by your parents, then yes, you may become liable to their debts when they pass away.\n\nIn short, you will not be liable for their liabilities unless you are somehow a party to the liability to begin with.

It depends if your state has community property law.  If it does than his debt is now your debt as well and you will be responsible to pay for it.  If you do not live in a community property state than file and injured spouse form and you will get your share of the taxes. You can also file separate.  Best advice is to let them take your share until all of the back child support is caught up.  As soon at that happens the garnishments on his paycheck won't be as much because he will just be paying current support.

Subordinated is not a debt, it is a lien position on a debt.  For instance, First mortgage on your house is the Primary lien holder.  If the place is forclosed on the Primary lien holder will repo your place, auction it, take their money, then give the rest to anyone with subordinate positions.  If there is no money left after the primary lien holder is paid back the subordiante position is screwed.\n\nHope that helps

Yes they do unless the debt is in more than one name in which case ther surviving person or persons will almost inevitably be liable for the outstanding balance.

I can go to Canada and pay everybody off.\n\nYou have to ask a Canadian Lawyer if you can be arrested in Canada for unpaid debts.\n\nIf the bank finds out you run away to another country you could be flagged as an International Criminal and you could be arrested by Interpol anywhere in the World. \n\n$40,000.00 is not too much money and I strongly suggest you to pay off all your debts.\n\nYou may have to sell a few things and you may have to get a second job but you can pay that money in a year or two and sleep well the rest of your life.\n\nTop 3 Answerer in Business & Finance.

If the medical bills are your spouses, you may be able to get a judge to rule that they are responsible for the debt in the divorce papers. If the bills are for you or your child, I don't think you'll find a judge that will place the entire burden on your spouse.

Yes . . . unless you divorced . . . and any shared debts that has occurred while married you will still have to pay off.

What you need to do is contact a solicitor about your rights and what will happen next.\n\nYour assets will be taken into consideration whilst in debt and if Bankruptcy comes into play you will lose it to pay off your creditors. They will use that as equity and it will not become yours. I would seriously get legal advice on how to keep those assets.  It maybe that they can transfer them into another name for the time being.

If he filed bankrupts on the house it belongs to the bank, i do not see how she can owe that money because the bank does not take only a portion of the loan of the house for bankrupts they take possession immediately. all of it. something doesn't sound right. I would call a lawyer for advice. But i am not sure about the new laws for filing bankr. They are different now. I heard your dept is not dissolved.

Yes they can.  They check to make sure that you're not overdrawn and owe them more money.

I depends on if you have children, if so you can claim them other than that your spouse and/or yourself. From experience you may just want to claim yourself because I had problems

If you paid part of the bill then you should be fine. You need to call the office & let them know when you can have the rest of the payment & go from there. Just hope you're not in a cold climate.

No his debt is his debt.  You only share debt if BOTH of your names are on the account.

It depends a lot on what state your in but, in some states no it wont as long as your not on any of them, yet in some states it will because marital property is also debts, my best advice is call a lawyer and ask them.
