spouse's pre-marriage debt, can I be held responsible?

What is the name of your state? CA

I'm contemplating the roughly $100k school debt my fiancee has. she is not paying it, and hasn't been for years. i want to know if i need to take preliminary precautions to ensure that the government cannot, after we marry, come after me in order to collect.

Just curious - even if they can't come after you for it, why would you contemplate marrying someone who you already know isn't fiscally responsible? If she's not paying this debt, what makes you think she'll pay her debts once you're married?
