Our divorce is still in the courts(anything we do financially after the petition/response is separate)But he's busy taking out loans to float attorneys fees etc.Will his personal debt effect child support and alimony?

My stbx is doing the same thing. He has run up HUGE credit card balances in the past few months. (they were basically zero balances this time last year).

Hotel rooms and other "entertainment" with the OW, his legal fees, all the new stuff he bought for his new apartment...

Credit card debt scares the crap out of me. Luckily we never had joint credit card accounts.

At least in Wi they have you file the debts listed during the marriage and then what ever debt is taken on after papers are filed would be that persons debits

depending on the state you reside in could have a bearing or he's figuring still a marital debt and you get stuck with half the bills. look into that. also, debt is debt and income is income. usually child support and spousal support have NO bearing on debt as far as I've seen. check with your state and your attorney.

Child support is based on his ability to earn, your ability to earn, and the number of children. His amount of debt should not affect child support.

Spousal support (alimony) is another matter and is typically looked at differently. Spousal support is not always awarded and his ability to pay may affect it. I hope that helps.

Mine too - great - he thinks he will be able to buy a condo after he wrecks his credit - only if his Mommy gives him the money - - and I don't think she will do that, but who knows?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
