Re: Financial Responsibility in Marriage

They can try, but it should not stand.

Re: Financial Responsibility in Marriage

Probably not but in some family law cases the have been rulings that one spouse is responsible for the basics costs of the other spouse(like food,clothes,and medical bills).I could suggest several changes you can make to document your house is not subject to his medical bills .If you are interested e-mail me your phone # to me so I can call you.

The courts in Florida have consistently held that a wife is not responsible for the medical obligations of her husband. Your homestead would always be protected from the debts owed to anyone other than a mortgage holder or governmental agency. If any negative credit information is placed on your history, it would be wrong and you can get it removed by disputing it.
