If you and your spouse are separated but still legally married can you be held responsible for the debts incurred after the physical separation?
You'd better believe it. Even if the Judge rules that you are not responsible for certain debts, the credit card companies don't care. They will come after you anyway and your credit report will be affected. If you have a "legal" separation" read what it says about these debts. Contact the credit bureau and place a notice in the file that you are legally separated and not responsible for the spouse's debts. This may prevent the spouse from getting more credit. Doubt it will help what has already been done, but do everything you can to get the records clear on that subject. Then cancel all credit cards in both names and open new cards in your name only. Close your checking account and get new one. Then get the divorce rolling. Only when you are legally divorced are you safe from any future debts incurred by the spouse.

You are both responsible - morally and legally. If one fails to pay the monthly bill, the other is then responsible. You use the word "joint" so I am assuming that both names are on the account.
