The availability of consumer credit has led to the spread of debt obligations in modern Russia. Most families during marriage manage to acquire not only assets in the form of property rights, but also liabilities in the form of debt obligations. The issue of the legal regime of such debts during marriage has been resolved by the legislator, but the fate of the spouses’ common obligations in the event of a judicial division of property remains unresolved. The article discusses the emerging approaches to the regulation of common debt obligations in the case of the division of common property of spouses.
