Indiana Law - At What Date Do Debts Become Separate? Debts become separate on the date the petition for divorce is filed. Each party should expect to pay his or her own debts that he or she runs up after the separation Note: If your name is on the credit card, you are still legally liable to pay the debt. The court may state that the debt is your spouse's separate liability. But that only settles matters between you and your spouse. That is, if you pay the debt, your spouse will have to reimburse you. But as between you and your credit card company, you are still on the hook. Cases: Fuehrer (1995) 651 NE2d 1171.
