FAQ
Are you responsible for your spouse's debt in Illinois? You may be responsible for your spouse's debts. In a long-term marriage, the debt is more likely to be split equally between spouses. However, if the debt is from before the marriage and isn't tied to marital property, it will probably stay with that person.

The only liability spouses have to support each other applies to marital expenses and debts, incurred after getting married. You don't become liable for your spouse's pre-marital debts. And, they don't become liable for yours. It's just like with kids.
No, you aren't legally responsible for your partner's debt unless you guarantee it or if it is a joint credit card account. Debt entirely in the name of your spouse, you are not responsible for.
