Do I have to file Bankruptcy before I get remarried so my future husband will not be liable for my past bad debt and taxes owed?

You do not have to file bankruptcy before getting married in order to keep your new husband from being liable for your past debts and taxes. However, many people in Community Property states like California do. Filing before marriage or immediately after marriage, when the line between separate debt and community debt is still sharp and clear allows one partner in the marriage to keep the other partner from incurring liability for their pre-existing debt.

Is it better to accept a short sale or let a house go into foreclosure?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
That depends on your situation but at this point maybe it really doesn't matter much. You are going to get nothing either way and you have no liability to the bank related to the foreclosure or short sale. If the short sale is pending and has been approved by the lender then you might as well go through it. It might be too late to back out. The problem might be that the buyer might sue you for breach of contract if you refuse to go through the short sale. Also, after the short sale the buyer may find something wrong with the house and sue you for that as well. Generally it is better *not* to do the short sale in your situation but I do not know if it is too late for you to back out of the deal. That might require a consultation with a real estate lawyer.

What will be the next step after discharge of chapter 7?

The trustee will administer any assets obtained, and to do so, will contact the creditors to urge them to file claims. If no assets were acquired by the trustee, the case will be closed in fairly short order.
