Do divorced couples need to pay off their credit card debts?
Legal analysis: If it is a debt shared by both husband and wife before marriage, it should be recognized as a personal debt, which should be borne independently by both parties and not treated as a joint debt of husband and wife. During the existence of the relationship between husband and wife, one of the husband and wife bears foreign debts in its own name, and what is agreed with the debtor is also regarded as personal debts, and the other party is not liable for repayment. However, if the debts assumed by one spouse are not clearly personal debts during the marriage relationship, they should be regarded as joint debts of husband and wife. Both husband and wife are jointly and severally liable for the debt. At the same time, if one of the husband and wife bears foreign debts before marriage, the debts used for the husband and wife to live together after marriage are also treated as joint debts of husband and wife.
