Hi folks,
My best friend got married last July and decided after 7 months that she didn't love him! It's on another thread somewhere...
He is living with his parents, she has rented another flat. They didn't buy ahouse/car or have any children. Bank Accounts were always separate.
However, when they got married he announce that he was 18k in debt with CreditCards! All were in his name and most of the debt was accrued before they got married. He couldn't cope with the monthly payments (although didn't miss any payments) so he saw a financial advisor who advised him to consolidate the debt and pay it off over 10 years.
6 months later they separated.
Does he have any rights to try to offload some of his debt to my friend?
She's been so silly about all this and has buried her head in the sand. She seems to think that after 2 years she can just divorce him. But I know that he will NOT agree. And he's been sending her texts telling her to get a good lawyer.
As they didn't have any joint belongings or savings I can only assume he means for the debt.
Any legal eagles out there.
PS: It's Scottish Law.
TIA oh wise Mumsnetters
