The party that filed bankruptcy will be protected as far as the collections process is concerned. The bank will in response expect the party who has not filed bankruptcy to make all the remaining payments. If this happens, you may want to consult with a lawyer ASAP so that you are making payments on a house that will be co-owned by an X.
You are in it together, I am afraid.
It is when an indivdual (or married couple) file for bankruptcy rather than a business or corporation.
Not if the debts were actually discharged in the bankruptcy. In regards to the cost of the bankruptcy if the couple were still legally married then that too is not recoverable.
A married couple can file for bankruptcy separately in Illinois, as it is not uncommon for one spouse to have a significant amount of debt in their name only. However, if spouses have debt they want to discharge that they're both liable for, they should file together. Otherwise, the creditor will simply demand payment for the entire amount from the spouse who didn't file. When a married couple face bankruptcy, they can file jointly, one can file while the other doesn't or they can file separately at the same time.
A married couple.
It is possible for the married couple to file a chapter 13 or in some instances a chapter 11.
Obviously, a married couple.
No
Not legally, but they may seem like a married couple already.
If a married couple is separated, then they should always live apart.
I am not a lawyer but before we got married, my husband and I, filed taxes together as a living together couple.
They can't file as married.....but they actually certainly can own propert together.
