Implications of Wisconsin's marital property law on credit
Thanks to Wisconsin's marital property a non-working spouse may obtain credit more easily. Because of this law, when deciding whether to issue credit, a potential creditor must consider the value of all marital property, which includes the other spouse's income.
This may allow a non-working spouse, who potentially would have been unable to obtain credit, to obtain credit due to the working spouse's income.
