Property and debts

So, if he has a right to co-mingled property (house bought by me prior to the marriage), does he have a "right" to some of the debts "we" created? If that is so, and I don't know if that is a legal argument, then he will wish he never tried to fight me over property. See, I told him that altho I was suing him for divorce, if he would agree to signing the papers for the attorney to file, he could keep all that he had and obtained, and that I would pay the attorney with retainer fees. I would help him find and furnish an apartment or house and each of us would be responsible for the bills in our individual names. I would assume all bills in my name! He helped create my debt-I just wanted a divorce-nothing else. Now what?

yes, he can be held liable for up to 50% of the marital debt...

you two are going to have to have one hell of a mediation session to discuss all of this...stop bargaining without an attorney present.
