Hello tryin to find out some info realy fast.

I am still paying off my student loans form school. But had something come up that me and wife(was not married at the time of school) don't like and think is not fair or how it could be legal for them to do. After we got marired The student load(federal one) requied that we fill out info on faimly size and such. After they incress my monthy payment because of my wifes income.

The question is What law or such give them the right to count my wifes income and as she feels holds her accountable for a loan that i got before we got married.

That is actually a better strategy for you - the faster you pay off the loan, the less interest you will incur. You are going to have to pay off the loan anyways, whether wife is around or not, so get it off your shoulders.

Sounds like you requested they base your payments on your income instead of on a set period of time. If you do that, they base it on household income.
