How is my spouse effected if I file for bankruptcy?

by Rebecca Martyn on July 19, 2006

I was recently asked by someone in Chatham how bankruptcy effects the spouse.

If the debts are just in the name of the personal filing for bankruptcy then it has no effect. However, if your spouse co-signed the debts, or has a supplementary credit card then that debt becomes the spouses debt.

If you are in this situation, or have a question about your situation, email a question.
