I recently found out my husband took out a $49,995.00 loan BUT on that loan he stated he was unmarried.
We are currently divorcing and he wants me to pay 45,000.000 half of the mortgae and credit cards.
Am I liable for a loan he got (under a pack of lies ie; stated on loan app. Unmarried, lives allone) mind you we just had a baby.
I want to sue him but do not know if this is grounds to do so.

I also want to know if what he did was ilegal and can I turn him I'm for this?

Tonight he wanted me to file as married when my son and I have not lived with him for over 9 months!

Thank you for your time
Carol

Taxes first: it's usually cheaper to file as married, so I would agree to that. You are free to file as married filing separately if you wish, and let the IRS deal with any discrepancy.

Regarding the loan he took out, that's a job for your divorce lawyer. Suing him for lying when there have been no consequences/damages yet is costly and unproductive. It would be faster and free to just notify the lender of who you are, but let your lawyer handle it!

With a new baby I don't see how he's going to get the court to make you pay half of everything unless you continue to bring in a good income.

Divorce is expensive. Living apart is too. Having a baby is too. Just hope you are aware of all this and how hard it can be financially now and for years to come, regardless of court decisions.

Actually if you are not divorced, on the taxes you are married, you may file married filing separate if not filing together. You need to discuss this with your tax accountant, but when you are divorced is when you file single again.

No you can not sue him for lying, but the issue here is divorce court, you prove all of the debts and fight over fraud of the debt at that time and fight in divorce court who owes what.

You are married. You both can file Married/Single OR Married/Joint. There are no other options. Whether you live together doesn't matter - what matters is if you are or are not married... and you are.

What he wants or doesn't want is immaterial. Get an Attorney, sue for divorce, let the Court decide what he does and does not owe.

I think when he gets to Court and his fraud is exposed he'll have a very difficult time finding any synpathy - and it puts you in a very good place.

In MY State you cannot sue your husband or wife - unless it's a motor vehicle accident and then the terms are somewhat different.

Do you have an Attorney? I'd find one before he gets some other woman pregnant and your child gets less in support.
