Should Both Spouses File for Bankruptcy?
Depending on your situation, it may or may not be in your best interest to have both spouses file for bankruptcy.
- The benefits of one spouse filing: If one spouse has good credit, he or she may not want to file. Or, if one spouse inherited a significant amount of money that would not be considered exempt property, he or she may not want to be a part of the bankruptcy. Also, one spouse can protect his or her assets through the other spouse's discharge.
- The benefits of a joint bankruptcy: If both spouses file, they can move forward with a fresh start. Additionally, filing a joint bankruptcy is more cost-effective than filing separately. Also, community debt and property can be more easily divided in matters involving bankruptcy and divorce.
