We've been living in Maryland for a little over 2 years now. After 5 years of marriage I found out my spouse's been cheating on me and I have plenty of proves for it. we don't have any financial issues except for one thing, my spouse has a $45k school loans and my name is not on these loans, it's only the spouse's name. Only $20k of this debt was acquired during the 5 years of marriage. So, if I go to court to file for divorce based on committing adultry, and it will be easily proven, will I still have to pay half of these school debt? we don't own any houses nor have any kids, so there is nothing else really to fight over excepts for these school loans. I just asked this questions but I didn't include the state where the divorce will happen, and I was hoping may be if I include that I can get more specific answers.

Depends on the state. In most states now, Adultry is not considered in the division of assets or depts. Only thing for sure is what he had before the marriage.

The student loans were soley in his name. When you go to get your divorce you should make sure that the papers state that those loans are not your responsibility. If he isn't paying the loans, the creditor could try to come after you or put the loans on your credit. If that happens, send copies of the divorce judgement to the creditor and the credit reporting bureaus.

Adultery or "irreconcilable alterations" - Neither gets "penalty" settlements anymore. There seems to be no getting $ to get even for previous habit, in simple terms $ contract in keeping with modern-day project -earnings/youngsters/debt/and so on... in simple terms like contract regulation - parent you're screwed, figuratively. Any debt you carry once you walk right into a dating will probably grow to be community debt in case you proportion enjoyed ones costs. If the checkbooks mingled after marraige - the debt load replaced into shared, ergo - the two events obligated themselves to the debt. looking forward - on account that all debt obtained earlier "submitting" for divorce is probably to be shared, Why no longer pass get that PORSCHE now earlier you document and permit your important different help pay it off after the chop up?

You will not be responsible for debt if properly represented, it has been incured for spouse's benefit only.
