> Must she then pay back her share of the loan? The husband always ends up paying in the case of divorce (with 2 minor exceptions). What will happen is that the wife's divorce lawyer will ask for an extra $10,000 (or whatever amount) because she has this extra obligation. So if she's taking $250,000 of his money (or "their" money), the lawyer will demand it be upped to $260,000 so she can pay back her share of the loan. Exceptions: 1. The rare situation in which the husband got an ironclad prenuptial agreement. 2. The rare situation in which the wife has much greater income and assets than the husband.
