[quote=kev374]what if the financial liability was from a real estate scam that was orchestrated by her mother? And she committed misrepresentation and is thus being sued along with her mother but claims innocence in the whole thing saying she trusted the mother who said all was legit?

So Blogstar, you’re saying you would be ok marrying someone who had $90k student loans and earns $35,000/yr? After marriage what if she decides that it’s best for her to be a stay at home mom while you have to slog your behind off not only to support a family with one income but also pay her $90k in student debt off.[/quote]

Her parents character/financial health shouldn’t reflect badly on her. BUT her being involved with them financially SHOULD reflect badly on her. It sounds like she got entwined, and might again since they are her parents.

No person is perfect. So you need to figure out how to unentwine her from her parents finances and scams. Only you can decide if the possible debt of $90k is enough to make you walk away from someone you’re compatible with. But it sounds like a certainty that you are incompatible with her parents.

You need to figure out if she is willing to set boundaries/limits on her parents… or they might drag you and your future wife down.

Edited to add: Your girlfriend isn’t named Teresa Guiduce is she? (google it.)
