What happens to credit card debt in divorce?

When you get a divorce, you are still responsible for any debt in your name. Most states follow “common law,” which means that a court will hold you responsible for any credit card debt that is solely in your name, and will hold you jointly liable for credit card debt that is in both your name and your spouse’s name.

Can my husband use my credit card without my permission?

While it is legal for your spouse to use your credit card with your permission, you’re on the hook for any charges your spouse makes. This is the case even if you give your spouse specific limitations, such as where he can use the card or how much he can spend, that he subsequently ignores.
