What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Don't use the PREVIEW button. The answer is they certainly can sue you both either together or individually. They may even prevail if you have responsibility for the debt.

the creditor can sue any and/or all debtors as any of the debtors are considered to be responsible for the entire debt. If you wish to make your agreement contingent upon them not suing your spouse I suggest you attempt to renegotiate your agreement. Otherwise there is nothing improper about what they are doing.
