Question #51: My husband and i have been separated since 1999, with a signed and notarized agreement as to who gets what and who pays what. We live in New York State. Does either have any claim to the other’s property since the agreement states what is in one person’s name is theirs? Also if one person charged up credit cards in his own name and has not paid, does the other have any responsibility to the other’s creditor, when the agreement states each pays his own loans etc/?
