My advice is to get a good lawyer or you will get stuck with ALL of the debt no matter who acquired it, no matter what it was used for, and no matter whose name is on it.

The first 'answerer' is right: you being primary card holder and guarantor.
Also, if you've been paying for the bills and loans on her behalf all this while, her lawyer might be able to get you to keep paying on her behalf, especially if she's not the working type. I don't know if she can pick which of the items in the credit card bill that belongs to you, and make you pay for them later. That seems a little surreal, but you'll never know.
If you never did any of the above, I'd say you're safe.

All very possible..
when my x husband divorced me, he had to pay all marital debt (now granted he ran most of it up himself, and both of our names were on the credit cards) but he had to pay the full amount himself.. 2 credit cards, 3 credit purchases.. approx 4000.00 worth of bills (and i only spent about 600.00 of that myself)
And possibly the student loans if they were inquired during the marriage.. im not sure, but id imagine so since they will make a man pay for college courses after the divorce for a wife, i cant see why not make him pay for partial loans that were inquired during..
But the only way u'll know for sure is to ask ur lawyer..

You are responsible for half of all bills concured while living together. It's not fair, but that is the law. You should get a good lawyer. Good luck.

If you're a guy, probably. I'd 'put money on it'!

If your name is not on the card and you did not sign for the card, you should get away without paying for it, except if he can proof that he bought goods for you both common use. Then the troubles start.

How is that your responsibility?
If you do have to end up paying that, then you had a biitch of a wife.
