Considering Liability Regarding Credit Card Debt and Maryland Divorce
Credit card debt can become a problem during a divorce if both parties are not aware of the specifications regarding debt distribution. You can be responsible for credit card debt that has accrued from an account you cosigned for your partner even if the account is not jointly owned, debt that is solely in your name, and joint debt that is in both your name and your partners. Participating in a divorce with credit card debt can negatively impact your credit and your future finances.
Protect Yourself in Debt Division: Maryland Credit Card Debt
- Pay off debt from any combined assets before completing the division of debt.
- Divide and/or transfer all joint debt to individual debt.
- Contact an experienced divorce attorney to create an agreement about how the debt will be divided after the divorce.
