Although Arizona is a community property state an innocent spouse defense might be applicable in such a situation. The issue should be throughly addressed with the person's legal counsel. If the spouse is relieved of the debt it would be possible to have it deleted from any credit report it may have been entered. Joint accounts remain the liability of both debtors, regardless of their marital status. This is true when the joint debtors are ex-husband and wife, former business partners or in any other way affiliated with one another. Creditors do not care if you are now divorced, nor are they concerned with the terms of a divorce decree. If they have a wifes' name on a contract (the contract which established the debt), they will not release her from liability. The debt will also remain on her credit report for the full time allowed by law. Legal actions to recover the money will be taken against her the same as her ex-husband. These include: lawsuits, wage garnishments, seizure of banking accounts and liens against any real property (as allowed by state law). If one account holder has their portion of the debt discharged by bankruptcy, the remaining spouse will be 100% liable. The ex-wife MAY be able to sue her ex under civil statutes to recover the money, or may be able to exercise her rights under family law statutes (through the divorce court), but this would have no impact on her liability in the creditors' eyes or on her credit report.

How does a pitcher earn a win in softball?

If pitchers' team is ahead when he leaves the game (all runners left on base that score, are charged to the pitcher that left them on base), he gets the win. The pitcher must pitch at least 5 innings in a game over 6 innings to get the win. If it is a tie game and the relieving pitcher's team wins, relieving pitcher gets the win. Otherwise he is charged with the loss. If the relieving pitcher's team is winning when he enters as a pitcher and then loses the game, the relieving pitcher is charged with a loss.

If you live in AZ and purchase a RV in Oregon do you have to pay sales taxes for AZ?

Yes and no. When you register the vehicle in Arizona, the Department of Transportation will verify that you paid sales tax at the point of purchase and that it was equal to or more than Arizona would have charged. If that is the case, you will not owe any use tax to Arizona. If it is less than the amount that would have been charged by Arizona, then you will have to make up the difference at the time of registration.
