How does divorce affect a credit report?

FAQ Page
A divorce decree does not relieve you of responsibility with the original creditor if you signed the original contract. If an account was awarded to an ex-spouse in the divorce decree, you must contact the original creditor and request that you be released from the obligation. It is up to the creditor whether they will release you from your contractual responsibility.

In England and Wales, your Will is cancelled automatically if you get married after you have signed it unless the Will contained a sentence stating otherwise, for example if it had been drawn up just prior to you getting married. If you get divorced after you have made it, any gifts in favour of your wife or husband will be cancelled (unless the Will states otherwise) and therefore your Will would be read as if they had already died.
