    Default Credit Cards All in Her Name, Am I Responsible

    My question involves divorce in the State of: Georgia.

    Hey all, I wonder if somebody can help me with something.

    My wife of almost 9 years and I are deciding to call it quits. We have no shared ownership of anything, no house no car, the child is my stepchild.

    The credit cards we deal with are all in her name, about half of the debt is debt she had on them from before she knew me. I have tried over and over again to get her not to use credit cards throughout our marriage but to no avail.

    I am a cardholder on one but it is not in my name . I have NO credit cards in my name, or joint credit cards between us.


    Thanks for any help!!


    My question is what is my level of LEGAL responsibility to pay her credit cards. Im planning to help her with them but I dont want to be legally responsible for anything that isnt rightly mine. Especially given that Ive begged her every step of the way not to use them.

    If you're not on her accounts, they're her accounts. As part of the divorce case she can try to get the debt divided as a marital obligation, but that won't change the contracts themselves.
