If my husband is threatening my daughter, can she be held liable for student loans that just his social security number is listed on?
Checked with Parent Plus and Sallie Mae and both said just he would be held liable. However, can he turn around and sue her for the loan?

Hello. I begin by stating to you that in the event that someone is in imminent danger of physical harm, an immediate phone call to '911' should be made.
With regard to lawsuits, family members certainly can and do sue one another, although this is an uncommon and infrequent occurrence.
In order to provide a response to your question I would need to know further details about the situation and the issues, agreements, if any, relevant written documents, if any. I would recommend that you, or the daughter, phone a private attorney to discuss the matter, so that the attorney can provide you with sound legal advice appropriate to the situation. The issues likely extend beyond one single matter. Likely the attorney will make multiple recommendations as to 'what to do'. I recommend that you make several phone calls to attorneys because it is important that you feel a sense of great trust with the attorney advising you on the situation. A general practice or family law attorney is likely appropriate to the issues facing you. Take care.
