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 .

How long can a bank report a bankruptcy?
It is not an issue of how long a bank can report a bankruptcy. Your real concern is how long that negative information follows you around on your credit report. That answer is 7 years. What generally happens around the end of the first year after filing is that lenders (banks) start mass-mailing credit applications to those who have filed bankruptcy. They know that you can not file again for what I believe is 7 years also, and generally those who have previously filed bankruptcy are more inclined to carry balances, which in turn generates greater revenue for the lender. I hope this helps Enjoy your day Dale
