My uncle and aunt are not divorced, but they haven't lived together for nine years. Now my uncle is in debt like a mountain. How can I repay the debt?

Where a creditor claims rights for debts incurred by one of the spouses in his own name during the marriage relationship, it shall be regarded as debts of the spouses. However, if one of the spouses can prove that the creditor and the debtor clearly agreed to be personal debts, or can prove that it belongs to "the property acquired by the husband and wife during the marriage relationship is agreed to be owned by each other, and if a third person knows the agreement, the foreign debts of the husband or wife will be paid off with the property owned by the husband and wife". That is to say, during the extension of marriage, the debts incurred by one party in the debtor's personal name are regarded as husband and wife debts in principle, unless one or both parties of the debtor can provide evidence to prove that the debtor and the creditor have clearly agreed that the debts are personal debts or that the debtor's husband and wife's property are owned separately, and the creditor knows that the debtor and his wife have otherwise agreed, there is no need to ask whether to use the debts for family life.

However, the second paragraph of Article 17 of the Supreme People's Court's Specific Opinions on Handling Property Division in the Trial of Divorce Cases stipulates that the following debts cannot be regarded as the same debts of husband and wife, and should be paid off by one party with personal property: 1, the debts agreed by both husband and wife as individuals, except for the purpose of avoiding debts;

2. Without the consent of the other party, one party subsidizes the debts of relatives and friends who have no obligation to support without authorization;

3. One party raises funds to engage in business activities without the consent of the other party, and its income is not used for debts incurred by * * * *;

4. Other debts that should be borne by individuals.

In short, as long as one or both parties are in debt with the same life, and the debt is also used for the same life, whether in the name of one party or both parties, and whether the other party knows or doesn't know, it should be considered as the same debt of husband and wife. On the other hand, the personal debt of husband and wife refers to the debt owed by one party before marriage and the debt unrelated to life after marriage; Or after marriage, the two sides agreed that the debt should be paid off by the individual. Common personal debts of husband and wife in practice include: debts owed by one spouse to satisfy personal luxuries; Without the consent of the other party, one spouse subsidizes the debts of relatives and friends who have no obligation to support without authorization; Without the consent of the other party, one spouse raises funds to engage in business activities separately, and his income is not used for debts incurred in the same life; Debts agreed by both husband and wife to be borne by individuals, except for the purpose of avoiding debts; Debts owed by one party before marriage and so on. So your aunt should not bear her husband's debts. The problem is that she needs to be able to prove it, so she suggests finding a better lawyer. Compared with the debt, the lawyer's fee is not much. Ask a lawyer to help collect evidence, find a way to handle divorce procedures. . If you don't find a good lawyer, in case the judge is partial to the creditors, it will be in trouble (and your aunt has no responsibility and obligation to raise her husband's illegitimate child, you can find a lawyer to help you sort it out)
