My husband and I signed up for a credit card during our marriage and got into debt. All debts on that card were made during our marriage. Since our divorce, money has been coming out of every paycheck to pay this debt off. My question is: Is my husband responsible for this debt as well even if the card was under my name? and: If he is, will he have to pay as much as I have already? (this money has been coming out of my paycheck for a while now) Thank you.

You say "since our divorce" which leads me to believe your divorce is final not pending. If that is the case this debt should have been addressed as part of your property settlement agreement. Talk to the attorney who handled your divorce if its unclear what the agreement was on this issue and if it was not addressed he/she will be in the best position to advise you whether this is something that can be revisited.
