The challenge here is that debt laws vary from state to state and country to country. In some jurisditions you may even be responsible for your spouse's income taxes that may be unpaid. Your best bet is to make contact with a lawyer. Most bar associations/law societies have some kind of contact you can find on line or in the phone book where you get one free question or a lo cost first visit. Lawyers are called counselors. That is because they know the law and they counsel you on how to manage your affairs within the confines of the law. To find out just which of your spouse's debt you may be responsible for, spend a little time and a little money on a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Be prepared and know exactly how many debts of what kind of debt and how much debt you are talking about for each kind of debt before that interview so that you can give your counselor precise information. Then he/she can give you a precise answer.

No, you are not responsible for his debt. His estate has that responsibility.
The length of time you are responsible for a debt depends on the type of debt and the statute of limitations in your state, typically ranging from 3 to 10 years. However, it's important to note that even after the statute of limitations has passed, the debt still exists, but the creditor can no longer sue you for payment.
Both of the spouses are responsible for the debt. They both benefited from the debt, so they are held responsibility.
If the debt is on a shared account, then yes, the wife's pay can be garnished even if the husband was the one who ran the debt up.
