in my jurisdiction the answer is most definetely YES and i reckon this is the case all over the worldSORRY!I think under US law it depends when this liability was generated. Before marriage or after the marriage. Did non borrowing spouse sign any docs or overtake any responsibility etc. etc. Check you local attorney. Otherwise, you are in a gem. Sorry.

Does a co-signer have to have permission from the Primary Account Holder to be taken off of a car loan?

A co-signer of a car loan needs the permission of the lender to be taken off the loan. That is not likely to happen since the lender wants as many sources as possible for repayment of the loan. Each co-signer is responsible for 100% of the loan. If one doesn't pay the other will be held responsible.
