What happens if one spouse files for bankruptcy and not the other?
If one spouse files and the other does not, the one who does not file could possibly be responsible for the debts. Check this out carefully before filing. This type of situation often occurs in a divorce case. After the divorce, one spouse files for bankruptcy. Thereafter, the creditor goes after the spouse who did not file bankruptcy. This is a favorite tactic that a spurned spouse will do to extract revenge.
