If my fiancé wants to file bankruptcy, can she file solo after we are married?

Yes. There is no requirement that spouses file jointly, although they are permitted to do so. However, keep in mind that even if your fiance files by herself, once you are married, your income will be included in the calculation to determine if she qualifies for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This is known as the Means Test. It may be advantageous for your fiance to file for bankruptcy before getting married. She should speak to a bankruptcy attorney in order to understand what her options are.
