While most states have laws that a spouse is responsible for both spouses' "necessities of life" (shelter, food, and health care), you are generally not considered responsible for a spouse's debt if the debt was incurred prior to your marriage. However, you can be held accountable for the debts of your spouse during your marriage. It's a good idea to create a Prenuptial Agreement to identify how each of you will handle prior obligations, debts that may be incurred during the marriage, and obligations upon the death of one spouse or divorce. You can create Prenuptial Agreements and more with Rocket Lawyer's easy online interviews, so get started today!
