 TITLE: Who Is Responsible for Credit Card Debt in a Divorce? CONTENT: Am I Responsible for Other Forms of Debt in a Divorce?\n------------------------------------------------------\nCredit cards aren't the only forms of debt you have to worry about in a divorce. You could also be responsible for other debts, including car loans, student loans, personal loans, mortgages and business debts.\nThe same rules explained above also apply to other debts, including how debts are handled with regard to common law or community property rules. If you have questions about the specific types of debt involved with your divorce, talking to your creditor and divorce lawyer can help you clear things up.\nUnfortunately, it's not uncommon for divorce to be accompanied by bankruptcy. If this is the case with your situation, it may be simpler to delay bankruptcy until your divorce is settled. There could also be a case to be made for filing bankruptcy before your divorce if many of the debts in question are held jointly. Be sure to review your finances, and consult with an expert if necessary, before deciding what's best for you. END
