My partner and I are married for 2 years, going thru divorce. No kids, no joint home/assets, and no prenup. My partner has student loans they took prior to us getting married but refinanced them during marriage - I am not a co-signer or guarantor. I am not listed on my partner's loans at all. Additionally, I have a sum of money I inherited prior to marriage.

1. Does mt partners loans stay under their responsibility after divorce or split?
2. Do I keep my inheritance money?

Living in Miami, FL

AA1, thanks for the clarification. Your second sentence seemed a little offensive at first - thanks for clarifying!

I do believe that inheritance money remains of property of the inheritor unless you turn it into marital property (like invest in a shared house). However, these things are state specific.

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
