[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard No. she could pay if off and he could divorce her next day.

This is not like i married wife and she had  car loan and I paid it off. Or my old GF who had 5k in credit card debt if I married her.

This is draining life savings, to pay off loan a guy who could dump her next day and leave her divorced and penniless [/quote]

This is an odd take. His debt has value, it’s given him a skill worth more than the debt.  I would be much more upset with 5K in credit card debt that shows my spouse cannot manage money than 200K in debt that raised my spouse’s earning potential.[/quote]

His debt has value only to him. If they divorce, she can sell a house or any other asset backed debt, she has no claims over his earning power.[/quote]

No, the debt led to their joint income today which they both enjoy.[/quote]

DP here: they are not "enjoying" the income if its mostly going to service his education debt.

[b]The solution is a post-nup[/b].[/quote]

I never understand this suggestion. What would it say? And why would the person that it negatively affects agree to sign it?[/quote]

Yup!  If my spouse came to me post marriage and stated "you have loans and they are not mine so sign this doc so that they stay mine and only mine but I will continue to benefit from your nice paying job that is a result of these loans" I would be alarmed.
