The Manitoba Family Maintenance Act imposes support duties between spouses and allows a wife to pledge her husband’s credit for necessaries unless he forbids it or the creditor is informed. A deserted wife may pledge for bare essentials for herself and children, but spouses are not liable for all each other’s debts, except when a store is led to believe otherwise.
The column explains that a spouse may act on your behalf for bills and assets like a car or fur coat, and you might not be responsible for a partner’s debts. It notes the advice is general information and reflects laws as of July 1979 with caveats about possible changes.
