Heading: Did the trial court abuse its discretion when it charged the debts of the marriage to the husband?

Text: The debts the trial court imposed on the husband all were incurred during the marriage. The record shows that the trial court considered the husband's income in charging those debts to the husband. The trial judge stated he could charge some of the indebtedness to the wife but that if he did so, he would have to increase the amount of support. The judge also considered in his ruling that as each child reached the age of majority, the amount of support would be reduced. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering the husband to pay the debts of the marriage. The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals is affirmed. AFFIRMED. HORNSBY, C.J., and JONES, SHORES and HOUSTON, JJ., concur.
