Determining who owes what to who during a divorce is a complex calculation that requires a lot of data. As the divorce proceeds the court will ask each party to complete financial statements that attest to their assets and debts. Once the court has all the data from each side, the court will apply a formula that will help to determine just how much is owed and how property will be divided. Until the court has gone through this process, there isn't any way to provide an answer to your question.
