In good times and in bad times: Filing for bankruptcy together or alone?

Walnut Creek, Fairfield, Pleasanton

During my free bankruptcy consultations in our Rinne Legal office locations in Walnut Creek, Fairfield, and Pleasanton I encounter many married couples where one spouse is in debt, while the other one is not. The husband might have debt from a car purchase for his business, while the wife has accumulated credit card debt or vice versa. Being married, the couples think that they have to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy together. This is not necessarily the case. A spouse can file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy alone or the couple can file jointly. This makes a difference when it comes to so-called exemption amounts, meaning which amounts will be exempt from your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. For example, a single person can claim a homestead exemption for up to $75,000 while a married couple can claim an exemption for about $100.000 of equity. You are not sure if filing jointly or alone would be better for your financial stability? Call us now at 1-800-303-2964. We look forward to consult you on your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy for free.
