What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
Hi all, my husband has an outstanding debt that he has yet to fight but is beginning the process, so as it stands he owes this money but is not currently paying towards it. He owes around 80k and each year it comes out of his tax return. But now that we are married, can money be taken from me? We decided to have just one joint account for our savings until we know for sure. I have read loosely online that my money can be taken, joint account or not. I'd like to know if this is true in Massachusetts, and if it matters that this debt was acquired long before we married. Thank you.
