<prompt> Human: Hi! I have a friend whose in an unhappy marriage. Shes been looking around about divorce but her husband says that if she divorces him then she has to take half of his debts. She let me know that they do not share any bank accounts. He doesnt let her know about his money but wanted to keep an eye on hers. She scared to divorce because she has nothing in her words. Theyve been married for 10 years or so. She use to be a teacher in China and its been hard for her to get a job teaching here. She works at a luxury store making about 15 hr. She budgets everything. She doesnt eat out. She doesnt have her own car or place. She drives about 40mins to work. And works everyday so like 38 hrs a week. My question is, is there a way to divorce him without having so much debt after. Shes very scared of that. Also, is there a way that she get a car and place on her salary. Im sorry about not having loads of information but she was getting really emotional about the whole thing. I will add some later. But any help would be great. I will try to answer any questions I can pertaining to my friend in her place. Thank you so much!  <response>: Your friend should talk to a divorce attorney. Some will do initial consultations for free or for a flat rate and then she could learn her options. Depending on the state she could be partly responsible for the debt or only responsible for debt where her name is also on the account.
