Do I have to include my spouse's personal property on Schedule B if I am filing separately in Florida?

Bankruptcy lawyer at The Barrister Firm, P.A.
No, however, you will have to report her income if you do not maintain separate households; moreover, you should indicate what property is held jointly and that which is held solely in your name.

What can I do if I filed a chapter 9 years ago that was discharged and I currently owe $12,000.00 in credit card debt?

You are eligible to file Ch 7 since your previous filing date was over 8 years ago. However, unless the credit card purchase of the car was secured (it's possible that it was not) your would not have a debt to reaffirm. In other words you would own the car free and clear. That may not be as good as it sounds. Depending on the value of the car you may be required to surrender it to the trustee or pay for the car if you filed for Ch 7. An analysis of the applicable exemption laws must be performed.

Can you keep your home but include an equity line of credit on your home in a bankruptcy?

Walter F. Benenati
Answered by attorney Walter F. Benenati
Bankruptcy lawyer at Benenati Law Firm A Professional Association
Yes, when you file Chapter 13, if your primary home is appraised at below what you owe on your first mortgage, a judge can declare the second mortgage / equity line of credit unsecured and thus, eliminate it after the completion of your Chapter 13 payment plan. Keep in mind, you cannot eliminate the second mortgage in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A Chapter 13 is a reorganization of debt through the Federal Government and can vastly improve your situation by addressing your current debt, possibly eliminating the second mortgage of your home, and at least in my Federal District, even modify your first mortgage.
