Dividing Marital Debts
Many people have misconceptions about mortgages, credit card balances and other debts. They often believe that because the debt is only in one spouse's name, the other spouse is not responsible for any of it. This is usually not the case. Any debt accumulated during the marriage is generally subject to division during the divorce.
