The reason is that a lot of the household bills (which are about half in by name, half in his) are hard to pay from the other person's account. Payments say they go through on the online portal but then somehow don't a while later (this happens when I pay as well).
It's very frustrating and we want to solve this. Plus have a common account for groceries and things like that.
We'd both put equally into this new joint account. I said we'd need to do it at a separate bank not associated with the ones we use already just to avoid confusion.
Just being paranoid but if someone goes after him for whatever--student loans, a car accident, an overdraft--could it damage my credit or could they garnish my other accounts?
