Martial status has no bearing on credit card bills. The issue is whether it is a joint or an individual account. Joint accounts are the liability of both signators, regardless of their marital status. If one party has their obligation discharged in bankruptcy, the other account holder becomes liable for 100% of any remaining balance. Debts and assets are frequently distributed during the divorce process and spouses may have recourse within the jurisdiction of that court. However, your divorce degree will never supercede any other contract (like a card holder agreement) and will have no bearing on credit issues. Creditors hold the person(s) liable who initially opened the account. They don't care if you divorce later on, they still want to be paid.
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, severance pay is generally treated as part of your income and may be subject to the bankruptcy process.

However, if you received the severance before filing, it typically becomes part of your estate, and the bankruptcy trustee may use it to satisfy debts. It's essential to consult a bankruptcy attorney for specific guidance related to your situation.
