No, not via the loan. It may get a little screwy because of you being married though.
I filed a 13 in Indiana and my wife cosigned on a bike loan and she now has problems getting credit eventhough I was the one to file. Also the criedit company still holds her responsible for the intrest.

Having a cosigner has nothing to do with your marital status. It's all about your credit.

Unless your spouses' credit is bad, then you have to look into a person who has good credit. Hope this helps!
