I am truly sorry there is no easy answer for this.  As difficult as it may sound,  ask your soon to be ex for help or to end the divorce quickly.  As long as you are still married lenders still consider debts to be jointly held.  Your pending divorce will scare them.  If nothing else,  get away form the jerk you are with.  I know from experince that abuse, even if only witnessed, is more devestating to children than poverty.

Absolutely not! Believe me, if you start paying off his debts for him, this will not be the last time it's asked of you. My friend fell into this with her ex-husband, and by the time she finally got wise, she had had to file bankruptcy and her credit was destroyed. Now he has moved on to another woman and is following the same pattern. I urge you not to do this. The point is that he may say he would do it for you, but you are not asking him to. I would be the one reconsidering this relationship. The truth is that if HE loved YOU, he would know better than to even ask. Good luck to you. You deserve not to do this.\n\nOne more thing: If you do go through with marriage to this man, please keep your finances separate from his. He WILL hurt your credit and your chances of ever getting free if you need to.

No, she will still get child support.   I just got married and have two step-sons now.   The father is still required to pay his child support.

I say quit feeling sorry for your self,get off your butt and get a job.There are no guarantees in this life except Death and Taxes. Most men aren't better off financially after a divorce especially if they have to find,rent,buy a new place to live. they also have all the other expenses to pay for; gas,electric,garbage,phone,car payment now add on 25% of his pay to pay for his children from the same pay check as before. You just want to take advantage of the system and your ex-husband. Start a Day Care Center your self. If you work out of your home the state will have to check it out. To get State funds you have to provide a monthly menu and only have the amount of children allowed  based on square feet of your home you have.

i would think that would depend largely on if she is able to get out and get a job herself. if she is able to then she probably won't get half your pay for life. just up untill the end of the divorce.

It typically depends on how much she makes. If she makes $15,000/year and he makes $100,000/year, she could file for and receive alimony. \n\nAlimony (from what I understand of it) is based on the idea that the spouse got used to a certain lifestyle during the marriage and now feels that he/she should be entitled to some money to get on his/her feet after the marriage ends.

You don't have to own property to have a state tax lien. Basically what it means is he has unpaid state income taxes that are past due.  The state will put a "lien" on you which means they can take any federal tax return money you may get, or "attach" any property or income you have coming in the future until the past due taxes have been paid.  They can actually go and attach or garnish your wages until it's paid off too. Since you are his wife, they can garnish your wages too.  Employers tend to get upset with this stuff and in some states can even fire you for it.  I would contact your state tax collection people (you can look in the phone book under "(your state name)_______ State Income Tax")and find out exactly how much you owe.  Usually you can make an arrangement with them to pay it off in payments. As long as it's outstanding, you are getting hit with penalties and interest too, which can turn a relatively small amount into a HUGE debt in a very short time.   Trying to get anything on credit will be next to impossible also with that on your credit report.  The sooner you take care of it, the better!

You should probably contact the Child Support Agency for further information if your husband has agreed maintenance payments with them.  FSee below for the link.

You are right - It's not your debt - So don't pay it off\nand if he is acting different toward you now then hes not worth having, sounds to me he just wanted your money.\nIf you do get married to him tell him until HIS debt is payed off you will pay 1/2 the bills for YOUR home only and he can pay extra on his debt.\nBut keep putting money up for your retirement.\n\nOh just don't marry him till he has payed it off by his self

Since I don't know where you live I can only tell you what goes on here in the states.  First of all you should have made it a point to know all about the finances during your marraige.  YOU put yourself in the position of not knowing now and there really isn't much you can do about it since you don't know if he has any other accounts in his name or not.  All that you might be able to do is have your lawyer do a "discovery" on his finances (hopefully you know your estranged husband's social security number, if you don't then you're pretty much stuck).  Secondly most states no longer grant spousal support.  Of course they do grant child support but that is for the CHILDREN not for the ex spouse so your "allowance" will end, and you'll have to get a job.  If you live here in the states I suggest you stat looking for one.  Go to yur local county office and see what they can do for you.  If you don't live in the states I can't help you, because I can only give you advice based on U.S. divorce/custody laws.

You gotta ride this out, my friend. Think of diamonds and gold for your wife. It will be cheaper than the alimony.

you have to pay until they get a better job which negates the need for alimony or until they get married which also negates it. if they are living with another man that is not a relative then you may have recource. talk to your lawyer and see what they can come up with. give them all the information and if you can prove when it started all the better. and if financials have changed then take that too.

are you married? I would suggest you slowly and carefully pull yourself from his debts. Seperate everything before he drags you down to bankruptcy. Talk to Debt management company to get you guys back on track.

Boy, are you down on women or what????  Man just chill out a little bit here. I see no reason in all the name calling here. She might have been a witch from heck, but geezzz.........\n\nAs far as the alimony goes, there are some women out there that have never worked out side the home a day in their life. And IF they have children she should stay with the children if the family can afford for her to stay home.  Now if there is no children, then I think she should go to work.  In some cases with the alimony, a judge might order the ex to pay her alimony for a certain amount of time until she will be able to find a job and is able to support herself or until she remarries, then it is cut off.\n\nI do feel like that the women do need to find a job to support their selves. But you don't have to bash women the way you are doing here, sorry. We are not all alike, just like you guys are not all alike. I am down on men right now, BUT I'm not bashing them the way you are bashing us.

Yes, it is necessary. Now that are married you are responsible for each others bills. If something horrible were to happen like an accident and he couldn't work or gosh forbid he should pass, you are looking at a lot of creditors wanting what your husband owes them to be paid. Also, you might be able to consolidate and save, for example, car insurance. There is usually a discount to have you both on one plan versus two seperate policies.

They're not saying it's child support. You obviously agreed to the alimony payments in the divorce decree, and you are liable for them. The child support enforcement division has jurisdiction over all support payments. She has a right to enforce the tenets of the settlement agreement. If your financial status has changed, you can petition the court to revise.
