You should read the papers that were signed when the GI Bill loans or other benefits were taken out. If you did not sign as a borrower or as a guarantor, there is probably no personal responsibility on your part. But again, read the documents carefully, and see if they mention anything about the liability of a spouse. And of course, if you did sign, then you are responsible because yur signature s a signed contract.

The GI Bill lender and BAH provider could seek reimbursement from either or both of your husband and you, since those obligations were community obligations, but since those obligations were incurred for your husband's education, the Divorce Court could order your husband to repay those obligations. The lenders don't have to honor that order, but you could file an Order to Show Cause to seek reimbursement, if the lenders are able to collect from you.

I cannot say for sure but my guess is probably not; it depends on what else is involved in your case. Not sure what BAH refers to.

Law Office Of Jody A. Miller | Jody A. Miller
It would be marital debt; however whether you would be responsible for any of that debt is a very fact specific issue. You need to consult with an attorney regarding the specifics of your case, and let the attorney ask the questions they need to in order to explain to you what might likely happen in court with this debt.
