Do you assume your spouses debts if you get married?

In most cases, you do not automatically assume your spouse's debts when you get married. Each spouse typically remains responsible for their own debts incurred before and during the marriage unless you live in a community property state, where debts can be shared. However, creditors may pursue joint assets or income for repayment if both spouses are co-signers or if the debts were incurred for joint expenses. It's advisable to discuss financial matters openly and consider legal advice for clarity.
