No.
If my wife filed for personal bankruptcy are you responsible for her debt?
No you are not. When one spouse and not the other files for bankruptcy they are only doing so with regard to their personal debt. A debt is created by contract between a debtor and a creditor - each debtor must sign the contract to be liable for payment. Therefore, the bankruptcy of one spouse does not cause the other to become bankrupt. Debts where spouses are joint and severally liable for payment will remain with the spouse who has not filed for bankruptcy. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, where one spouse's debts are wiped clean, the creditor can go after the other spouse. However, a major advantage of Chapter 13 bankruptcy, where the debtor plans to re-pay her debts, is that the creditor will leave the co-debtor alone, as long as bankruptcy plan payments are timely deposited.
