Response to New wife / old debt

from Eleanor Scott (eleanor.scott@btinternet.com)
No-one is permitted to 'assume' that you and your wife will divorce! It is her debt - I know it probably feels like it may as well be yours, because of the worry, but I'm beginning to wonder if the lenders don't actually like chasing women because of their assumption that their fathers, husbands, new partners etc will pay off their debts for them - especially whwre there are small children involved and the stresses become intolerable. I imagine (and *do* read this site carefully) that her income and assets are such that a small settlement will be possible. But you do *not* have to pay off your partner's debts! But this is what they want, of course. Good luck. E.
