It depends.... I Work in Insolvency and am New, so if I explain it silly, I apologise!!
If you and your Partner have Joint Assets, his Share can be used to Pay his Debts. If he had a House that he Sold to you for less than it is worth so that it is in your Name and not his, this is frowned upon in a BIG way!!
Is your Partner Bankrupt?? If so, go and see an Official Receiver/Trustee/Insolvency Practitioner and ask them. If he is just thinking about it I would get some advice from that CAB.
It also depends on how much he owes and what his Assets are.
Good Luck!!
