Will my student loans be split in half if I incurred them before we were married
My husband I dated all throughout my college years- he did not attend. We
bought our house in 2009, before we were married, while I was still in college.
I graduated in 2010 we were married in 2012. Is he responsible for half my
student loan debt?

No, he is not responsible for your student loan debt. Loans or other debts or obligations incurred before marriage are your debt alone. Since you graduated, and thus incurred the loans, 2 years before marriage, your husband has no liability whatsoever for them.
