Can a spouse claim bankrupt to keep from paying alimony?
A spouse cannot declare bankruptcy solely to avoid paying alimony, as alimony obligations are typically considered "non-dischargeable" debts in bankruptcy proceedings. This means that even if one spouse files for bankruptcy, they are still required to fulfill their alimony obligations. Courts generally view alimony as essential for the support of the receiving spouse, and bankruptcy laws do not allow individuals to escape these responsibilities through bankruptcy.
If you own a home and Jointly and your dead beat husband files chapter 13 against your wishes can you sue?
In general (of course there might be a state statute that differs, in the state of jurisdiction for the bankruptcy filing), any citizen can file chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy individually without consent of their spouse. Probably, you don NOT have a valid cause for action against your spouse in such cases. If I were you, I would read a primer about filing chapter 13 bankruptcy (an excellent book is "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition by Stephen Elias, published in 2009 by Nolo; 346.078 E42N Dewey decimal), and check pertinent state law about a spouse filing bankruptcy individually. Also determine whether your spouse is trying to file jointly while keeping you in the dark -- you can defeat that claim without having to sue, just contact the bankruptcy trustee / judge. If you need legal advise pertinent to your state, then check for a paralegal who specializes in filing bankruptcies as well as a lawyer (such paralegals are just as familiar with bankruptcy processing and pertinent state law, and charge less for their service).
