Divorce can bring up many financial concerns, especially when it comes to credit card debt. One of the most pressing questions is whether you’ll be responsible for your ex-spouse’s credit card debt after the marriage ends. The short answer is that it depends on the state you live in, whose name is on the account and whether the debt was incurred before or during the marriage.

The Associated Press

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) — The Treasury Department has issued regulations aimed at making it harder for criminals to launder money by paying cash for residential real estate.  Under rules finalized Wednesday, investment advisers and real estate professionals will be required to report cash sales of residential real estate sold to legal entities, trusts and shell companies. The requirements won’t apply to sales to individuals or purchases involving mortgages or other financing. The new rules come as part of a Biden administration effort to combat money laundering and the movement of dirty money through the American financial system. All-cash purchases of residential real estate are considered a high risk for money laundering.  The Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FinCEN, will administer the rules.
