A friend of mine is is the process of separating from his wife. I think their marriage is likely to end in divorce but who knows. Right now he and his wife are on pretty amicable terms.
He wants to help his girlfriend get an expensive car by cosigning for her loan. The girlfriend doesn't have good credit and probably won't qualify for the car without his signature.
My questions are as follows.
A. Can he cosign for a loan without his wife's permission or knowledge?
B. Is there way he could cosign for the loan without affecting his wife credit. (e.g. if he and the wife were legally separated could he cosign)
C. What impact would cosigning for a loan have on his credit score how about his wife's.
D. If his girlfriend defaults and/or miss car payments what would the impact be on his and his wife's credit scores.
