Hi
I’m planning to end my marriage, many reasons why and it’s long so won’t go into it now. But I wondered if I could pick brains about the financial side - the house is in my name so obviously that will get split 50/50 once we eventually go our separate ways however it just occurred to me we also have a couple of credit cards for total of about 25k which are also in my name (just because he’s always had rubbish credit rating). It’s been spent mainly on house renovations etc over the years. I’d like to think that the sale money of house would pay this off so that we can both start on a clean slate. However I’m aware that sometimes divorce can get nasty and messy so I don’t want to just presume he would be fair especially as it’s a lot of money. How does this work with divorce - would he have to pay half the debt or would I be liable?
