If your spouse was married before, then ask if he/she has made any financial commitment to the ex-spouse.
Ask if your spouse has any financial obligations towards his/her ex-spouse. Find out if your spouse has to pay child support, alimony, or the debt of the ex-spouse. If you forget to ask your spouse, or he/she deliberately hides this fact from you, then there can be financial problems in the future. For instance: the creditor may garnish your joint account after getting permission from the court. This means that both you and your spouse will lose money. Your spouse has past financial obligations but you don't. So, it'll be a mistake to lose money on your part without making any fault.
