I am about to get married, the groom has awful credit, I have pretty good credit, will his bad credit go against mine? or his collection agency start harassing me?

Also he has child support he has to pay, if by marrying him, does that mean that they can garnish my wages? And could they determine how much he has to pay for child support based off of my income as well?
We have actually been together for 9 years now, and have a child together, we have finally decided to go ahead and tie the knot, i have always been skitsh on the issue of credit.
 
Whenever, I suggest that you ask these questions to an attorney in North Carolina. State laws about this stuff vary from state to state and you need a definitive answer.

I am not a professional about credit but I would think that you can establish your own credit in your own name and not be associated with his bad credit.
Second I believe that if he is not paying child support the judge can garnish his wages.

If you are concerned about marrying this man. I think that you should wait until he gets his feet on the ground. It seems like he has a lot of issues.You are working and in this day and age jobs are scare and people are getting layed off. You should think long and hard before you marry this man. If you marry him his problems will become yours even though your credit is good. You will have step children and of course they will be part of your life. It sounds like you are unsure about him. He should get his feet set on the ground before he thinks of getting married again. Let him pay off his bills and think about marriage later in time. If he has a problem with child support how can he support you and if you have children together?
You may be in the same situation as his former wife then. Trying to collect child support from him.
I don't know what his situation is. Did he just lose his job? Or was this going on for a long time. He might be an absent father but I don't know. You would know that cause you are in a relationship with him.
He may be telling you things that are not true. Then again you have to give him the benefit of the doubt if you love him.

IT SOUNDS TO ME THAT YOU ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HIS SITUATION. The only thing I could say is wait till he clears up his debt cause you will be right in the middle of it.

I hope this helps but I feel that you are questioning this and you can see the handwriting on the wall so to speak.
You are a smart woman.

Good luck
Warm Regards

I live in Fayetteville and I know that my credit is better than my husbands. When we are applying for a credit line of any sort we have the option of running our credit together or one or the other of us...usually me cause mine is better. I do not know how the child support thing works though.
