Answer: If a debt is in both names (you and your ex), you are both responsible for the entire amount of the debt. If a bank repossesses a house and sells it, and does not recover the full amount owing on the mortgage, they will pursue you for the difference.
The same is true for debts that are in both names. If one of you does not make the payments, the lenders will pursue the other person for the full amount owing.
Divorce is one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in Canada, so if you believe that you will not be able to pay all of your debts in full, you should consult an Ottawa bankruptcy trustee to explore all of your options.
