Re: Filing Seperately

Judy,
That I'm not sure of...hopefully some of the others will chime in here. You can file without your spouse but if any accounts are joint accounts, they will go after him for payment. But since they can't touch social security, he may not have to pay anything but I imagine they'll ruin his credit. Definitely have a consultation with an attorney to get definite answers.

Has anyone in the group filed for Chapter 7 without their spouse and
what are the repercussions for the spouse? Will his credit be
affected. This is a community property state but his only source of
income is his social security and it is my understanding that they
cannot touch that. Even though he will be liable for my debt will
the credit card companies be able to hound him after I file?
