While it is generally understood that typical, routine marital expenses and debts are a part of the marital estate and assumed by both parties (sometimes proportionally based on financial circumstances), arguments can be made for credits or concessions by one party of their spouse is using joint resources for things that not only do not benefit the spouse/couple/family unit, but, are potentially illegal and unacceptable.
