Ok, I will respond to your post even though it was as if you were screaming it.

I was told that marital debt would be divided in equal shares. So in essence if your debt equals his debt then it really is a wash, as long as the debt was pertaining to your marriage. It won't be considered martial debt if you spent it on bon bons and pedicures throughout the year.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.
