[E. Pluribus Unum]

that’s debt racked up before the marriage, it isn’t joint debt. the things you have before the marriage, assets and debt, are yours. the things you accumulate during the marriage are joint.

Evidently your definition of marriage doesn't involve a little thing called "commitment."

[Secret Agent Man]

not my definition. almost all states have this as their definition in their state laws concerning marital property.

and it sounds like you are totally great with people arrying to attempt to brden another person with their pre-marriage mountain of debt. that be love to you, but not me.
