Your personal credit will not be affected if your spouse files bankruptcy alone.

Be careful though in future transactions if you apply jointly for credit later... it will show up there.

When you marry someone who has filed bankruptcy do you also take on the bankruptcy?

There is no real problem here as bankruptcy has to do with individual debts between the debtor and the creditor so you should not be affected by your fiance's bankruptcy. Also, because you will only be gaining community (or shared property) after being married that will not be available for debtors to get nor will any of your individual funds/ assets. If you file a joint return after marriage , you file as an " injured spouse ". That way if any debts are back child support or support increases or IRS liability , your income should not be considered in most states. Consult a real lawyer before you get married to be certain of all this info .
