My ex-husband consolidated his student loans shortly after we married in 1996. The consolidation was through Sallie Mae. We divorced in 2003. As far as I know, he still has the loan.
My concern is that if he were to default, Sallie Mae would try to seek payment from me. The best that I can remember, I did NOT sign the consolidation loan but we did live in a community property state (Washington) at the time. None of the loans show up on my credit reports.
My question is how do I know for sure that I'm not on the hook for his debt? I can't ask him to produce the paperwork. Do I call Sallie Mae and give them my SSN and ask whether they have me listed as liable for anything?
