bankruptcy and my spouse

I have to file for bankruptcy. My health is simply isn`t good enough for me to pay everything.

My debt is all in credit cards and unsecured lines of credit. Will my spouse be responsible for any of this debt?

This will depend on the debt themselves. Essentially, as long as your husband has not signed on any of your debt (not a a joint debtor, cosigner or anything similar), then your debts and whether you file for a bankruptcy really won’t have anything to do with your spouse.

The only way your spouse could be held responsible for these things is if he / she signed on your debt.
