Yes, bankruptcy does not effect spousal support or child support.
In general, the filing of bankruptcy by one spouse will not affect the other spouse's financial situation. 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.
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.

No. When one spouse files for bankruptcy and the other spouse does not, they are only filing for their own personal debts and not those of the spouse.

No.
It will only affect the non-filing spouse if the couple apply for some type of joint credit, such as a home mortgage. It will not affect the new spouse's credit report/score.
Generally speaking, when one spouse files for bankruptcy, the non-filing spouse should not be effected by this because they are only filing as to their individual debts. They are still obligated to the joint debts they share with you. Additionally, if you are in the process of a divorce the fact that one has filed for bankruptcy does not extinguish his duties to pay the divorce settlement, child support, alimony, etc.
payments to x-spouse from retirement after x-spouse has remarried is this legal in Washington state
The answer depends on the state you live in. Generally, if you file under Chapter 13, a "co-debtor stay" goes into effect, which prevents creditors from collecting from you spouse unless they get court permission first. If you file under Chapter 7, nothing prevents your creditors from going after your spouse, unless you live in a community property state, or state law prohibits them from going after your spouse. Because the answer to your question is very state-specific, you should check with your bankruptcy attorney if you have one.
