This is a question I am needing help on in my law class, I need three opinion of people, if anyone can help me out that would be wonderful. Thank you in advance.
Bryan and Kelly have been married for five years. Both work, and each earns about $30,00o per year. They have problems paying their bills and often fight over money. One day, Kelly goes shopping and charges groceries, clothes for the children, and a VCR costing over $500.00. Bryan gets angry and tells Kelly that he is not paying for anything.
Questions
Is Bryan responsible for the debts of his wife?
Suppose Bryan was out of work and charged the previously mentioned items without telling his wife. Would she have to pay?
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "husbands should be required to support their wives, but wives should not have to support their husbands"? Explain why you feel this way?

In a community property state each person is equally responsible for the debts of the "community". Even in non-community property states, they would be equally responsible if they both are on the bills.
"husbands should be required to support their wives, but wives should not have to support their husbands"? - I disagree. It is sexist and violates equal protection.
