Best Answer

A married person may file for bankruptcy without including a spouse. The particular circumstances governing the situation will dictate whether this is or is not a wise decision. Property held in joint names such as a house may not be protected from inclusion in the assets to be distributed merely by reason of being in joint names with a spouse.
