What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I am about to marry my girlfriend. She has student loans and also is in debt to hospital because of an emergency operation (she was not covered by health insurance). She is still student and has no income to pay the debt.
This is the first marriage of us both. I am a foreign national and have assets back home but no assets or income in US (I have just arrived)
I wonder if I will be responsible for these debts she has had before marriage. Should I pay for her debts (in either case of we live happily or things do not go OK and we end up with a divorce) ?
Also I want to know how these debts will affects our future family. If she continue to be jobless and unable to pay the debt, what would happen? I am new to united states and do not know the law here.
I apperciate any help, (of course according to the VA law)What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
