It depends on the laws in your jurisdiction. In the United States, both spouses are responsible for debts incurred by either spouse in a community property state. That isn't so in separate property states whereby a spouse is not responsible for a debt on a loan they didn't sign. There are also variations of those rules in different states. If you still have questions you should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction.
