My husband has a great job down here, and i've been able to be a stay at home mum (so have no income of my own to pay debt back).
She would be in no way liable for my debt would she?

You sound like a solicitor that tried that line on a debtor in court only to be held in contempt by the judge. A spouses income cannot be taken into account in the calculation of means to pay a debt.If as a couple it’s decide that you should be a stay at home Mom, surely whatever income comes into the household is then a joint income.
Why not just pay off the debt ?
Morals have no place in a court of law. Again a spouse is not liable the other spouses debts.YOu have a moral duty to pay back the debt, put a little by from your housekeeping every week and pay what you owe. You can afford it unlike others on this forum who have suffered redundancy and have serious financial problems.

Please think very carefully before judging the users of this site, who are simply asking for advice in these difficult times!
My point is I would not expect my wife to return to work to pay off this debt, our child’s care would be my main priority.
With Respect,
....is not 'non judgemental'. Infact, its darn right hypocritical to not expect your own wife to return to work to repay a debt, but yet others should?
I will not be using the site again. Many thanks to those who provided positive and constructive comments!
