We arent divorced yet it keeps geting prolonged she has accumilated bills sinvmce i left that she hasnt paid and in court she wants to sue me for 20,00 saying i owe her for credit cards
A: Your question is difficult to answer properly without knowing more details. Credit card debt accumulated during the marriage is technically marital debt, but I see some judges who assess the debt only against the party that incurred the debt. What did she spend the money on? How much did you pay her in support during your separation? Were her charges for necessities, or for non-necessities? Talk to a divorce lawyer in person.
