Yes, you are responsible for the repayment of your debts, regardless. Most people do not understand that their most valuable asset is their employment. If you blow off your obligations your creditors could take legal actions which could result in the forcible garnishment of your paychecks.

The best solution is to communicate your financial position and limitations. In this economic you may find them willing to accept a smaller repayment plan and amount then they would have in the past.

Since his debt is tied to his assets (which you both share), his debt is your debt unless a court rules that it is not. Creditors can file a claim on his assets or life insurance (if he dies) to pay the debt so it does make you indirectly responsible for his debts. In the case of a divorce, the debts will be split up accordingly and when it is finalized, his debts are no longer your responsibility.

Do providers have to repay company that goes into bankruptcy?

I am not an attorney. But my thought is, yes of course. You still have a debt and you made an arrangement to pay it back. The company still has assets in the form of outstanding debt, and these assets will be used to pay the company's own debt. If I were one of the company debtors, you can be sure I'd be expecting people to pay the company what is rightfully owed. Again, I am not an attorney.

Sure. But his would seem to be a very minor amount to do so for. And if you have more than that amount in non-exempt assets, then those assets will be used to pay that debt. (Bankruptcy effects all you debts and you assets, you do not pick and chose which ones are included).
