That's good to know. He knows about some of my debt like my repoed car when I got pregnant and others but he does not know about all of them. I afraid to get married because right he owns our home and checking and both vehicles are in his name. he is okay with this. I just don't think we could afford to have his paycheck garnished. He should be punished for my mistakes. When I do go back to work when our son gets older I plan to personally file bankruptcy if possible.
