How to go about legal seperation?

If your husband is being sued, the first thing he should do is speak to an attorney about defending the case, negotiating, or possible bankruptcy.  You are not liable for his debt, except in rare circumstances.  Also, in a divorce, debts may be considered marital for purposes of distributing assets. If your husband does not defend, or does and loses without filing a bankruptcy, all you need do is assure that you don’t share a bank account.  While such accounts are ultimately exempt from the creditors of just one spouse, the account can be frozen pending a determination that it is indeed exempt. I trust this answers your question, and if you live in the Delaware Valley, feel free to call or email me on a free initial basis. Best Regards,   Matthew R.
