∙ 9y agoIf she didn't sign the contract, then by US federal law (the Consumer Credit Protection Act [15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., Title VIII Fair Debt Collections Practices Act [Public Law 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009], and Gramm-Leach-Bliley [Public Law 106-102, 113 Stat. 1338]) the debt is not hers. No state may make any law that precludes or abridges anything specifically addressed in federal law. If told by a lender or debt collector otherwise, it constitutes violations of elements of all three of the laws noted above. Contact an attorney.

Is husband responsible for wife's bills that she incurred in state of Washington?
If the husband is not a contractual party to the debt, then no, he is not responsible regardless of what state the debts originate from. If the debts were incurred pre- or post-nuptual, it still does not matter provided the husband is not a contractual party to the debt. If however the husband has any joint assetts with the wife, if the Washington creditor seeks to recover the debt by attaching assetts and discovers them in the state in which she currently resides with the husband, those assetts will be attached and disbursed to the creditors, regardless of whether or not the husband is a contractual party to the debt.
