Can My Spouse Be Pursued for My Debts?

It is a common question many people have when entering a marriage: can my spouse be pursued for my debts? The answer to this question depends on the type of debt and which state in which you live. Generally, if both spouses are legally responsible for the debt, then either spouse can be pursued for repayment; however, it is important to understand that each state has different laws regarding joint or separate liability for debts.

In certain circumstances, only one individual may be held liable for a debt even if the other party was involved. For example, in community property states such as Arizona and California, if the debt was acquired before marriage or after separation then only one spouse may be liable.
