What about my divorce?
After divorce, you remain responsible for the debts you had jointly when you were
married. Even if the court ordered your ex-spouse to pay a particular
debt, you can be held responsible in the eyes of the creditors if it is
not paid, or if payments are late.
If you are facing divorce, now is a time when it will be very helpful
to request a credit report to see everything thats in your file. It
may be best to close joint accounts where possible, so that you can
gradually re-establish your credit separately.
