Hey all, I'm a 29 year old college student with an income of approximately $25,000, credit score of about 600 and approximately $5,000 in debt, not including student loans. My girlfriend is a 34 year old occupational therapist with an income of approximately $90,000, credit score of about 800 and zero debt. We are currently expecting a child in November and have talked extensively about marriage. However we were both concerned how that would affect our finances. We both love each other very much but are trying to be practical about this. I am in the process of paying off the debt and fixing my credit but we were concerned how my bad credit would affect her good credit? Also we were thinking how our income taxes would be affected? I get money back on my taxes for being a student and we were under the impression that being a 'single' mother she may or may not get some similar incentives on her taxes? Pardon the ignorance of tax laws and such. We are very grateful for any help available. Thank you.
