I am planning to get married soon after I file. Will my bankruptcy affect my spouse?

As you plan to get married soon after filing for bankruptcy, it’s important to understand how the decision may affect your spouse. Though marriage can be a joyous occasion, it can also signify potential financial complications if one partner is in the process of filing for bankruptcy.

The most immediate issue is that any debts incurred by either partner prior to marriage will remain solely the responsibility of that partner. Creditors cannot go after your future spouse for debts incurred by you before marriage, no matter how closely linked the accounts may be. However, if your spouse was a cosigner on a loan or other debt prior to marriage and you file for bankruptcy, their name may still appear as a creditor on documents filed with the court.
