  • I am married, does my spouse also have to file bankruptcy?
  • No. In some cases where only one spouse has debts, or where the other spouse has debts that are not dischargeable, then it might be advisable to have only one spouse file. However, in some cases where real property is involved, or where the spouse is a co-debtor on most of the other spouse's dischargeable debts, then the question of joint bankruptcy is a little trickier, and questions should be referred to an attorney.
