Will bankruptcy affect his case or should we postpone our wedding?

Rex K. Daines
Answered by attorney Rex K. Daines
Bankruptcy lawyer at OlsenDaines
If his attorney can't give you a clear answer on this, then he should get a better attorney. The court looks at household income and expenses to determine whether a person makes too much money to qualify for a chapter 7, this is true whether you are married or not. The general rule is that the court looks at the income as of the date the case is filed, but the court can look at income changes that happen shortly after the case is filed.

Can I file chapter 13 bankruptcy with my daughter for a car I cosigned for her that she let go back and not affect my husband?

We have to know where you are in order to give you a referral to an attorney in your area. You cannot file a chapter 13 bankruptcy with your daughter, and a 13 is probably not the best way to go because you have to pay a portion of what you owe. Chapter 7 is preferred to discharge all the debt, but you may not qualify for it.

If I file for bankruptcy then get married to her, would I be liable for the debt again?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
In Wisconsin a girlfriend may not file a joint case with her bf, unless they are married. (Domestic partners-I'm not sure.) It would be a grave mistake to claim to be married in order to file: it would be a false statement made under oath to a court, which is a crime. Wisconsin does not recognize common law marriage. Your marrying her would not make you liable on the debt again, assuming it is discharged in your Ch. 7. Best advice: find an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. It's almost always worth the investment.
