Your best bet mam, is to make sure that you are not a co-signer on any debts with your husband. If you are an authorized user on any accounts, like a credit card for example, contact the creditor and have them remove you from that account as the authorized user. This will save you alot of grief, and credit problems. If it is other accounts like a home loan, car loan, etc.. My only suggestion is refinance the home (if possible), and only include yourself on the Title (Not the loan application). This will keep you clear of any foreclosures in the near future, and he cannot sell nor refinance that home without your agreement. If you a co-signer of a car loan then try to refinance that vehicle in his name only. Good Luck with this process.
