Debt division
|
General situation:
My ex filed for divorce, and under the section for community debts all my ex wrote was: "There by a fair and equitable division of the marital"
Also, my ex marked that neither of us had any debt prior to the marriage, but we both did.
All of the debt incurred after we got married was in separate accounts. We did NOT have any joint accounts.
Questions:
Is it reasonable for me to request that we each pay for the debts in our names (I pay the accounts in my name and vice versa). If so, what is the best way to word that (is there any specific 'legalese' I need to use to make my request clear)?
In regards to her marking that we [i]Did Not[/i] have debt before the marriage when we [i]Did[/i]: Will I need to provide bank statements? How much of a wrench will this throw into my plans of a smooth divorce?
Any and all advice is appreciated.
