There are 9 states requiring spousal approval for loans and they are all community/marital property states. These states are listed as follows: Arizona California Idaho Louisiana Nevada New Mexico Texas Washington Wisconsin However, if the loan is a 401(k) loan that has been earned during the marriage, ALL states require spousal approval as the 401(k) is federally mandated. Please seek professional advise prior to taking out any loan if there are questions concerning spousal approval.

There are at least 5 states where a debt collector is prohibited from speaking to a spouse: Iowa, South Carolina, Massacgysetts, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
