This is a bit confusing, but I'll try. If the new spouse is the ower of the old debt, then yes. The beginning of a new marriage does not absolve old responsibilities. If the the new spouse married the ower of the old debt, then no. Those who are not contracted to owe cannot be pursued for a debt owed by another. If the new spouse now has joint accounts with his or her new partner, regardless of who owes the old debt, then those accounts are fair game to any creditor who holds a judgment against the old accounts.
