Question:
If my spouse files a bankruptcy, will that affect my credit if they have a lot of debt but I do not?
Answer:
An interesting question that many people ask is whether a spouse filing for bankruptcy would affect their credit report. The quick answer is that it depends on if you have any jointly owned or obligated debt with your spouse. If your spouse files bankruptcy, you will still need to make your own payments on any jointly obligated debt. Failing to continue these payments would make you delinquent and have a negative impact on your credit. If you had questions concerning your spouse’s filing of a bankruptcy and how that would affect your credit, please give our office a call.
