What Our Clients Say

What Is Considered Marital Debt in New York?

Under New York’s equitable distribution framework, marital debt generally includes liabilities incurred during the marriage, regardless of whose name appears on the account.

Common examples include:

  • Credit card balances
  • Mortgage debt
  • Auto loans
  • Business obligations
  • Personal loans
  • Tax liabilities
  • Medical debt

However, classification disputes often arise—especially when one spouse claims debt was incurred irresponsibly or for non-marital purposes. Our litigation team carefully evaluates these distinctions and builds arguments supported by financial documentation and legal precedent.
