If you are not a troll then this ^. And who doesn’t discuss student loan debt or debt prior to marriage. Unless you are marrying a doctor whose last name is Vanderbilt you should assume until told otherwise that they took out debt.

My husband and I discussed finances, including the fact that I had student loans from grad school, five months into our relationship when it was clear to both of us the relationship was progressing and we would likely get married (he proposed seven months later). I am almost done paying my loans off but we have joint accounts and joint assets and kids etc so it has been both of us paying my loans off.

(1) Was any of this discussed beforehand? If not, that is on both of them.
(2) The doctor can potentially choose a career path and workplaces that would allow for the loans to be paid off or
(3) Your daughter and her husband can figure out how to jointly pay off this debt like responsible adults. If he doesn’t put money towards his loans the interest will increase and you know the rest. It could also impact their ability to get a mortgage if it’s significant. [/quote]
