How do you close a spousal credit card account?

Answer

The husband or wife can request, in writing to be removed from the account. That only means that person won't be able to use it. Assuming you are referring to a joint account, both will still be equally liable for the debt incurred prior to the change. One spouse cannot, however, have the other taken off the account of their own accord. And of course if one is deceased (obviously). A death certificate is needed to remove the person's name or close the account.
