I went to a lawyer to ask the same question as I was about to re- marry and needed to know if he would become liable. According to my lawyer, they cannot touch you if you do not have a joint income or joint accounts. Once joint names appear all over the place(even savings acc.), they can try to get to both of you. I suggest you seek the same advice. Hope I was of some help. Annette(posted 8792 days ago)
