I am trying to figure out how much debt my soon to be ex husband had when he married me. I got a credit report but it doesn't tell you that. Is there anyway to find out debt status for a specific year? Can you back date a credit report somehow? I need help BAD.

I don't know of any way to get a credit report from some time in the past. Since you are seeking his debts prior to your marriage, you would need his help to have any hope of getting this information. If the marriage was not too many years ago, it MIGHT be possible for HIM. To request a payment/balance history for a particular year from the creditor(s). It sounds like you are trying to sort out which are sole and separate debts, and which are community debts. If you are now on these accounts, then you would be able to make the request for information.
