Depends on which state you live in. Usually the states that have co joined property will also have co joined debt.

In the case of the house and vehicles, I think yes. But, really, if you are enjoying the benefits of the items for which the debt was incurred, don't you feel some responsibility to pay them???

yes the spouse is responsible for the debts...thing i think its stupid because if thats that way then how come if the spouse dies and the have money left...why doesnt it go to the wife as well?

It depends on the laws in your state. If you are not on any of the notes, I do not see that you would be responsible for the debt, but you have to check with your state laws.
