If you are about to get married and you are filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy will this bankruptcy affect your spouse in any way after the marriage?
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.

Will a spouse's bad credit affect your credit in a community property state?
Yes. If you are married and your spouse has bad credit, you inherit that bad credit and depending on the state, you can inherit half the debt if you divorce. * No, debts incurred before marriage do not affect a new spouse's credit report even in CP states.

If you are married and your spouse has bad credit can you apply for a home mortgage on your own?
Sure, as long as your credit is good and you make enough/have enough assets to qualify for the mortgage. Again, the legalities that apply in one state, may not apply in another state. It will be wise to check it out first.

How will refinancing rates be affected if a spouse with a low credit score is added to the policy?
Let me answer the question this way: the addition of somebody with low credit can't help a mortgage application, and may kill it. A lot depends on the mortgage being applied for (all mortgages have, as a criteria for acceptance, a range of acceptable credit scores) and how low, in fact, the spouse's credit scores are. Talk it over with the professional handling your mortgage. If, for instance, you need to add the spouse for income reasons, you might be better off to get a different sort of mortgage. Good luck.
How can you get a copy of your spouse's credit report?
If you're married than its easy... your spouse just gets a copy of their credit report and shows it to you. If your not married (divorced) than you cant - its illegal.
