| stae whether this is a loan on your own or joint credit........in wisconsin they go a step further and state "this loan is in the interest of the marriage and family".......if a person in this state has a loan only in the borrowers name [and not the spouse] the spouse is still liable for 50% of the loan.....if you take out a loan in your name only the state requires that the lender notify your spouse of that fact.......if the lender doesn't notify the spouse there could be serious consequences for the lender......we are more than a spousal state...we are a marital property state which is markedly different than a community property state or the normal spousal state.....hope this helps some...... |
