I know in California, once you get married, you share EVERYTHING. I would advise opening a separate checking account. Also, be careful if you own any property or vehicles together.

In Texas, a collection agency can potentially levy a joint checking account, even if the debt was solely your spouse's prior to your marriage. Joint accounts are considered the assets of both account holders and are subject to collection efforts. It is advisable to consult with an attorney for specific legal advice regarding your situation.

I believe so - When you get married you assume all the debts.

The estate of the spouse is responsible. IF both are on the same checking account then the FULL amount of that checking account can be considered the spouses estate too. Even if the account is closed just prior or just after death, then the amount in the account months prior is still considered a portion of the estate.

Depends on the laws of the state you reside in, but if it is your own personal account, chances are that's forgery. Something to keep in mind is that if your spouses name is on the account in any way, then there is nothing you can do except discuss this problem with your spouse.

Can you deposit a large check into your spouse's account that does not have your name on it?
Yes. There are no restrictions as to who can deposit cash into a checking account. Anyone can deposit cash into anyone else's account as long as they know the account number of the account into which they want to deposit cash. For ex: I can walk into the bank branch where you hold a checking account and deposit $500 into it if I know the account number. Nobody will ask or question me as to why I am doing so… Since in your case it is only your spouses' account no one is going to ask you anything. But, since the amount is high (as you say) she may have to show proof of income if the bank asks her to do so.
