No, your credit rating is separate from your spouse. If he or she cosigns it will only effect his or her credit rating.

If you have bad credit will it affect the credit score of your spouse?
Your credit standing alone won't affect your spouse's credit. The only way your spouse's credit would be affected along with yours is if you jointly hold accounts and then fail to pay them.
Does wife credit card affect husband?

It will only affect the non-filing spouse if the couple apply for some type of joint credit, such as a home mortgage. It will not affect the new spouse's credit report/score.
If your spouse cosigns a loan for their child from a previous marriage will you have any personal obligation for the debt or will it affect your credit rating?
*The point is they are married and although it won't affect her credit rating if her husband is stuck with this loan it will reflect on both of them as far as possibly putting them into debt. If your spouse just cosigned then yes, they are responsible for that debt if their child decides not to pay. If the child does pay the payments then there should be no problem. Cosigning is never a good idea even if it is family because the cosigner is 100% responsible for that debt. * The non signing spouse would not be responsible for the debt nor would it affect his or her credit rating with perhaps the exception of applying for joint credit. Even if the married couple live in a community property state under such circumstances a spouse would not be responsible for the other's financial obligation that involved children of a previous marriage.

Can you marry someone and not have your bad credit affect their credit?
Credit scores are individual and your marriage to someone with a lower credit score than yours will not affect your credit score. Credit scores are based on how much debt you owe versus how much credit you have available, how you make your monthly payments, etc. It has nothing to do with your spouse's credit. That said, their poor credit may affect your ability, as a couple, to get the best rates on credit that you seek together, e.g. if you attempt to buy a house together. It wouldn't impact your personal credit, but it would impact the loan offer you receive.
