Husband and wife divorced. What if one party owes a credit card?
Legal analysis: On how to pay off the credit card debt in divorce, we should first distinguish whether the credit card debt belongs to the joint debt of husband and wife or the personal debt of husband and wife. If it is a joint debt of husband and wife, it should be repaid jointly by husband and wife. If it is a personal debt, it should be borne by the individual himself. Credit card consumption occurs during the existence of husband and wife, and it is not stipulated as personal debt, which should be recognized as joint debt of husband and wife. However, in reality, there are many cases in which individuals open credit cards without the other party's knowledge, so it is inevitable to directly identify them as the joint property of husband and wife.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
