If you are married, you are still a legal entity with the other person, so a judgment filed against them would also have your name on it. Be sure to include some verbiage in your divorce agreement about it, and if possible, arrange to have it paid from any joint monies before sorting out the settlement. Obtain a copy of the "paid" letter for your records.

Are you responsible for debt of spouse prior to marriage in Tennessee?

No. Please be advised, that if the creditor sues for the debt and wins a judgment the judgment can be executed against a bank account held by a married couple even if only one spouse is the debtor. The non-debtor spouse would be required to supply the court with documentation of his or her ownership rights to the bank account that could be subject to levy. Likewise, the judgment creditor might be able to place a lien against property jointly owned for the debt owed depending upon how said property is titled.
