CALIFORNIA
Hey all,
I was wondering what sort of legal action can be taken against me if my wife has personal unpaid debts. She currently owes her son $100,000 in a signed contract, but she does not have the money and he is threatening to sue me. We have only been married 3 years and HAVE a prenuptial agreement. We generally split our finances, but I was wondering if I still would also be liable for this money, or if it is only her burden.
She currently is out of work, and I would have a tough time coming up with $100,000 of course (I only make that in about 3 years of work).
The contract was also not a professional legal contract. It was just a plain sheet of paper where they both signed their names and acknowledged she owed him money. Would that hold up in court even? Or does it have to be a certified legal contract of some sort? They also have signed a new one in the last year for the SAME loan (just a newer contract), does that reset the statue of limitations? If not, what is the statue in California? Any help would be greatly appreciateed.
Thank you very much,
