So you mean...marrying someone but transfer all the personal debt to the others, then divorcing so that I have no responsibility whatsoever? Not even an obligation to settle for the debt just like disappeared through an expired relationship?
To me it seems more like leveraged buyouts + debt restructuring all at once. I rather coin this term "debt offloading", which could also cover the cases with Enron for the tactics they used about 25 years ago
In another uniquely American construct, that won't stop hospitals calling up all their relatives either implying that they are now responsible for those debts, or that it would be a mark of respect and honor if, even not, the relative would be willing to settle them anyway.
