Situation is this: credit has been received by the husband, wife has signed with. Both work, women deserve better. Must pay off the loan with the woman, or this must be agreed separately with the divorce? Or do they pay anything?

If both have signed on as both borrowers are then required to pay off the loan. Who then paid off here after the divorce, you must clarify how much. It is probably also depending on what was done with the money then - it has spent only one spouse for his stuff or something that has been funded so that you have purchased together or used? That will probably be clarified by the lawyer or the court. If you signed as guarantor, it is this: should your husband no longer can afford the repayments because he has no money for it, you have to step in as Buerge. Since you can not push yourself even before, Signature has been made. It does not matter whether it also let you divorce her after borrowing.

Yes, if both are signed, both obligated to pay off the loan. So the time is now, I hope for you that it is not too much credit.

Being familiar with the contract says it is obligated to pay. Can you make change in court then that the man, or they even use the credit on. If you are debtor against your husband, he must be credited to the marriage formative credit on the alimony of the wife. What does that mean you have to pay less maintenance, until the loan is settled. The same is true in the other direction.

Every state has their own rules but where I live when the loan was created while married the law says both are responsible. They can offset some credits if both parties agree, where if per se the husband owes the wife for something else. The court can credit the wife's responsibility not to have to pay the portion. But if there is nothing to credit and offset, according to the law here both are responsible. For instance my ex did not want to pay for college and I was keeping the home. So as per the value of the loan we agreed I would not buy him out and credited him, to not have to pay for college for my child. This is all if all parties agree and if they cannot then a mediator is assigned by the court to make our what is fair.
