Generally, yes. As a married couple, your have some "joint" financial assets and liabilities. If one of you has a credit card (even if it is just in the name of that one person) and runs up a bill, the other cannot "hide" from the creditor. This is almost always the way the court will look at things. It's an already difficult situation, but if two people are married and one is out spending their joint funds or attaching assets held in common (by building debt), the "correct" course is usually some kind of "counseling" for the couple or "discussion" between the two. If things are serious, consult a professional and soon - before it gets worse. The attorney is usually free or cheap - at least on an initial consultation. Good luck sorting this one out.

Your husband passed away and had credit cards in his name and your name was not authorized to use them do you have to pay off the credit card company?
This is tough because the laws vary by state so you really have to your own research. I will say; however, that if your husband used that card for "family use", i.e.: food, bills, etc. then you can be held liable. Also, if you ever signed a credit card receipt then you can be found liable because you are then deemed to have implied authorization.
