We have been together 11 years. He has always refused to let me pay on my student loans and has become verbally abusive and sometimes throws and breaks things when I bring it up. I have stayed in forbearance or deferment. Over those years another $20,000 has been added to my debt through interest. He says I have no right to pay off debts I had before our marriage with "his" money. I was totally upfront with him about the loans before we married and showed him all the paperwork. I had been making payments until we got married and he refused to let me continue.
Can he be required to pay all the extra debt I have due to his refusal to let me make any more payments?
