You can list the debts that your husband would be responsible for and should list them with as much detail as possible. The reason you should list the debts is in the event your husband does not respond to the Petition for Legal Separation, you can ask the court to enter a default against your husband. Since you have him notice that you would be asking the court to enter orders regarding his responsibility for specific debts, then the court would order him responsible for said debts in a default decree.
