- Start date
am I responsible for my husbands debt?
it's called cedula. and yes, it is my understanding you are responsible for your spouse's debts. not sure how far they can go but seeing that you are foreigner an you do not know much about dominican laws they can at least try to shake you for cash. i suggest that you contact a good lawyer to see what can be done and how much do you stand to lose.
My understanding is that it depends on whether they can consider it a joint debt or solely his personal debt. This gets very muddy with marriage as a lot of things you wouldn't normally consider joint can be. If he earns money in his business, is it joint money? Do you share bank accounts? Does he deposit business income into the shared personal bank account? There are so many different things they can look at to try and loop you in. If they think you have money and he doesn't they will at least try to come after yours. There is no certain answer any of us can give you on here without knowing all the details of your situation and a lot more about how the local laws treat each one of them. You really need to have a good lawyer start looking at this so you can be prepared in case something does happen. Those who would sit around and wait and see and leave things to chance will often be unprepared and end up losing or as dv8 said "shaken".
You clearly need to see a good lawyer. If you are in the DR, let us know where you are and somebody may be able to recommend a good and honest attorney. The firm of Guzman Ariza would be a good choice. They have offices in a number of locations. Dominican Attorneys | Guzman Ariza Law Firm in the Dominican Republic
You cant be responsible for someone else?s actions. I don?t think that his creditors can really demand money from you or take any legal action against YOU. Have you cosigned anything for him to get any loan or something?
Is the company incorporated or registered in the DR. I would think if it is a corporation than those depts are those of the corporation and not personal debt. You need an attorney to sort this out.

You have to wonder about a person's judgement, who asks for important "Legal Advice" on a website, from people who have no idea what we are talking about!!!!
Of course you have to ask the same question about a foreign woman who would marry a Dominicano, and not even know what a "cegilar" is!!!!!!
TWO WORDS, "Mi Amor",......"Guzman Ariza"!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Since it's rainy day, I think I'll go back and refresh my memory by reading "Catwoman's" old posts.
That should get me a laugh, or 20!!!
Aside from the "DRUGS", and the "Private Detective" needed in "POP", pretty boring!

I guess it depends on how you were married, I mean with SEPARACION DE BIENES or without
If you were married with separacion de bienes I believe that nobody can take your personnel belongings away
If you were married without that, I believe that they can take 50% of the belongings away (50% is yours and 50% belong to your husband)

The worst part is marrying a Dominican without knowing what type of financial situation he's in. Broke is not as bad as being in debt, but both situations should be avoided. She probably married for "love"...
Thanks to all of you who replied with sincere advice, I intend to seek legal advice.
To cris colon and platinum..... You must lead very boring lives!!!!! Nothing better to do than slate people, I wonder if you would be so quick to do so, if. Your true identity was known???

Show the ''acta de matrimonio'' to your lawyer, so he can find out under which contract you were married
My, "True Identity" is known by any DR1er who cares to know it.
Many do!
Did you actually marry the guy you hired the "Privates" investigator to follow????
I bet we already have that one figured out!!!!
Merry Christmas

I am afraid that how can you say you are not a Dominican citizen, since you married a Dominican you are now a Dominican anyhow. If you can be a Legal seeker of your husband's property your are definitely liable to get over his debts as well. As far as you are married to him you have to get engaged in any good or bad situation related to him.
