During a divorce the court
Submitted by Staff_Writer on
During a divorce the court divides the marital property, both the assets and debts. In Indiana, the court divides the marital property according to equitable distribution. Equitable distribution means that the court will divide the property in the way that it deems fair. Generally, debts acquired during the marriage are considered to be part of the marital property. However, if your husband took out a credit card in his name alone and the debts were for his benefits, the court may deem them to be his personal debts. However, you should discuss your case with a family law attorney in Indiana.
