I want to know how my future spouse will be affected by my mortgage arrears and debt when we get married? We have a prenup/ante-nuptial contract but it was drawn up abroad as we got married overseas. Im not sure of Irelands marriage laws (in community of property I assume?)
If we are legally two separate entities in terms of our liability (in the eyes of overseas courts) then is it possible that they will not be affected by my debt problems?
I just got married very recently and they may end up wanting to get a loan or mortgage in the future (well, to buy a property may take a number of years yet, but they have some savings towards an eventual deposit) but since I have been having ongoing problems with my mortgage and personal finances I dont them to be affected or liable in any way. They are actually working abroad at the moment whilst I stay here with good friends, and so a decision about whether we settle here will also depend on our ability to start over again (amongst other factors like finding work etc)
Thanks for any advice
