Choosing legal separation over divorce can also have a downside. It may lead to financial problems in your future, for example, or make it harder to get a divorce later if your spouse moves and you cannot locate him or her.
In other states, such as Missouri, the courts divide marital debt equitably, so spouses are generally only responsible for the debt they incurred. If the debt was incurred on a joint credit card or loan, then both spouses would split that debt in divorce.
The bottom line You are generally not responsible for your spouses credit card debt unless you are a co-signer for the card or youre a joint cardholder on the account. However, state laws vary, and divorce or the death of your spouse could also impact your liability for this debt.
A settlement agreement differs from a separation agreement as it sets the terms for the divorce, not the separation. A settlement agreement should address all central issues of the divorce. This can include things like division of marital assets and debts, child custody, and child support, as well as spousal support.
For many cases, courts will allocate debt to the spouse that incurred it. If the spouses incurred it together, courts will often direct that each party pay a portion, often (but not always) half. If debt is tied to a certain asset such as a car, it is common for the party that gets the asset to also get the debt.

A legal separation Missouri establishes some safeguards to protect the financial and legal rights of both parties and any other family members involved, but it is not a final end to the marriage.
Most states use common law (also known as equitable distribution), which dictates that married couples dont automatically share personal property legally. In other words, you arent responsible for your spouses debt unless you took it out together as a joint account, or you cosigned on it.
