No, absolutely not. That is fraud whether you are married or not. * It's not legal but it is usually considered a status crime unless the spouse opening the account did so with the intent to defraud or steal by deceit from the creditor. In some cases the innocent spouse defense can be used to prevent the non debtor spouse from being held accountable for debt incurred (this is a very difficult defense to prove in community property states). As for retribution, it is highly unlikely criminal charges would be pursued if the injured spouse filed a complaint unless there were very mitigating circumstances, such as large cash advance charges to the account with no intent to repay.

Yes, you are married. For years I didnt even work or have credit cards, but I established credit due to my husbands last name, because we are married.
Are you asking if your previous husband ought to be legally responsible for supporting your children by your new husband?
If it is in the man's name, then the man is legally obliged to pay it.
