His Debt. Your Problem.

[00:00:00]Don't assume that your spouse's debt is not your problem.

[00:00:04]If you're getting divorced in New Jersey, a lot of people think, "Well, that's their credit card. That that's their issue."

[00:00:09]Not necessarily. In New Jersey, debt can be divided just like assets, especially if the debt was incurred during the marriage.

[00:00:16]So, what's the mistake? The mistake is ignoring it or not tracking it or not understanding where it came from. Then by the time it's addressed, you may be sharing responsibility for something that you didn't fully understand.

[00:00:30]What's the smarter move?

[00:00:31]Get a picture early on, assets and debts.
