Question:
If my wife applied for credit cards and maxed them out without me (husband) having any knowledge of what she has done. If I were to file for divorce because of that, am I responsible for paying any portion of the balances?
Answer:
Allow me to preface my answer with the statement that I am not licensed to practice in Kansas. Generally, the court is going to divide all of the debts and property, however you can request that the court divide the debts in accordance with her hidden debt. Generally, the Court will assume that anything done while you were married was done with your consent or knowledge.
