Should I inform the creditor that my husband is in jail?

My husband is in prison right now. He will serve in the jail for 3 years. I’m the authorized user of his credit card account. The total outstanding balance in the credit card account is $8000. It is not possible for me to pay the amount with my salary. Can the credit card issuer come after me for the payments? Can I get sued? Will the account be closed? Should I inform the credit card issuer that my husband is in prison? Will there be any problem if I want to obtain a new card in future? I live in El Cerrito, California.
Call the credit card company
Call the credit card company and have yourself removed from the card. Let then know that the primary is in prison.
