Generally no, however any shared assets, such as a bank account or home, would be subject to levy and/or garnishment for his unpaid debts. Also, some debts where you had a shared benefit could attempt to attach liability on you, especially if they showed in court any attempt to shelter or harbor assets in your name to avoid attachment to your husbands debts. However, the best way to avoid problems is to have your husband at least workout a repayment plan.
