S10 Ep96: How Are Student Loan Debts Allocated Between Spouses?

#ChooseGoldman Navigating student loan debt during a divorce involves understanding state laws, the timing of indebtedness, and how debt division impacts the fruits of your education.  • Student loan debt allocation in a divorce depends on state law and the timing of the claim and indebtedness. • Expecting your spouse to pay half of your student loan generally means they acquire a 50 percent interest in your practice or education benefits. • A common and practical approach is for the debt to follow whoever received the benefit of the education and degree. • If a business or professional practice is established during the marriage, the division becomes more complex and goes beyond just the educational debt. • Demanding a financial contribution toward your student loans often results in having to share the value of your degree and career path with your former spouse.
