Thank you, Betty, for noticing that I didn't say the state is a community property state. I was quite specific about the debt itself and not the general laws of the state with respect to marital property - namely that debt itself could be shared between the spouses based on its nature.
You're welcome. I did notice you said community debt & not community property state. I posted my post because of junker's post noting Il. was not a community property state. I didn't want OP to think a spouse could never be responsible for another spouse's debt except in a community property state.
