Helping You Understand Individual Versus Joint Filing of Bankruptcy
A Bankruptcy Law Firm With Over 10 Years of Experience
We receive many calls from California residents who are married, so it makes sense that one of the bankruptcy law questions our firm encounters most often is "If I'm married, can I file without my spouse?"
The fast answer is "Yes." Our firm often handles bankruptcy cases filed individually by a married person. The individual filing of bankruptcy by a married person can be advantageous under many circumstances, including:
- If debts are under the name of just one spouse
- If one spouse wishes to be freed from the debts of the other spouse
- If one spouse is looking to maintain their good credit rating and allow the other to file bankruptcy and discharge most, if not all, of the consumer debt
If your spouse routinely takes risks you're not comfortable with and has accumulated excessive debt, we can answer your questions, explain your options and recommend potential debt-reduction alternatives.
You can file for bankruptcy even if your spouse refuses to. To speak to a Corona Chapter 7 lawyer and Chapter 13 lawyer about marriage, divorce and bankruptcy, contact Sobti Law Group at 888-627-8013.
Has your spouse accumulated excessive credit card debt? Does your spouse's debt threaten your home, car or other property? Do you feel trapped by debt that your spouse has accumulated in his or her name?
The attorneys of Sobti Law Group have handled hundreds of bankruptcy cases, including numerous cases filed individually by a married person. We can fully explain how your marriage will affect your bankruptcy and provide counsel regarding your options whether your marriage is sound or if divorce is pending.
