Yeah YEah YEah
A bankruptcy has nothing to do with your ability to marry. You can marry at any time.
You don't. It's not an issue.

Your personal credit will not be affected if your spouse files bankruptcy alone. Be careful though in future transactions if you apply jointly for credit later... it will show up there.
Sure.
If the couple apply for any type of joint financing such as a home morgage it could create difficulties. Other than joint financial transactions the credit of the spouse who was not a party in the BK will not be affected
No. You were not married to him. Keep your maiden name and keep your credit seperate. If it has been a long time out of the bankruptcy then his credit may not be that bad. In fact it is possible that it is better than yours. Call all three credit reporting agencies and have them send a free credit report for him and you to review. If you put him on the title of your home then it could hurt you. If you use his credit scores and they are low it could hurt you because they will take the middle score between you both.
Badly
hun if you not ready you dont gotta marry him.take your time to heal if he truly loves you he'll understand.
You can do it either way. It mostly depends on the financial situation you are in and if you have joint accounts or single accounts. Just went through this. Most of the bills are in my name so my husband didn't have to do it.But your lawyer will advise you on the best way to file. Hope this helps.
Yes. Legal problems like this do not prohibit people from getting married.
Interesting question. How do you manage to put yourself into that situation? No offense, but most people I know that have ended up like this is because they live beyond their means. Your former partner, is possibly a leach or there were more underlying causes and the timing was coincidental or the final straw. It may be the reason for filing bankruptcy. People often have very strong feelings about this kind of thing. Some refuse to do it because of pride. I don't know what your circumstances were that led to filing bankruptcy. Was this something you could have avoided? Was the need to file due to irresponsible overspending rather than a situation beyond your control? Did you have other options but just wanted to take the easy way out? I'm not accusing... just trying to think of any possible underlying reasons which could cause somebody to be upset with you about filing. Only a very small percentage of BK's are filed by persons who live a lifestyle higher than they can afford. The most common reasons are job loss and serious illness or injury which result in overwhelming medical expenses. Being in financial distress often creates a division between spouses or intimate partners regardless of whether it results in bankruptcy or not. If a person is dating with a mind towards getting married then maybe s/he broke it off because when you marry someone their credit rating mingles with yours. S/he may not want your bankruptcy to affect future mortgages, loans, credit cards etc.
