When divorce and bankruptcy intersect, it creates a complex financial situation. This discussion covers whether you are obligated to file for bankruptcy if your spouse does and how to handle individual versus joint debt.

• You cannot be forced to file for bankruptcy; it is a personal decision, even during a divorce. • If debt is solely in one spouse's name, their bankruptcy may resolve the issue without impacting you. • For joint debts, creditors can pursue the non-filing spouse for the entire amount if the other spouse's obligation is discharged. • Even if a divorce court divides a debt, a bankruptcy can erase that responsibility for the filing spouse, potentially leaving you liable. • It is crucial to analyze your financial picture to decide if you should also consider filing to protect yourself from inherited joint debt.
