We Both Agree on How to Divide the Debts

(Hold Harmless Provision)

Both spouses agree to divide their debts as listed above. The husband agrees to pay all the debts listed

under “Husband’s Debts.” The wife agrees to pay all the debts listed under “Wife’s Debts.” The wife will not

try to make the husband pay her debts. The husband will not try to make the wife pay his debts. Creditors

will try to collect from both spouses. Both spouses understand this. A creditor may get one spouse to pay

the other spouse’s debt. If that happens, the spouse who is supposed to pay the debt will pay the other

spouse back. They will pay back any payments and reasonable lawyer’s fees the spouse made. They will

pay back any costs of trying to stop a creditor from collecting the debt.
