Re: Bankruptcy 1
One spouse can file a bankruptcy petition without the other spouse filing. In California, the Trustee will look to all of the community assets, including joint checking accounts. I am unsure of your reference to accounts (ie., credit card accounts or savings/checking accounts). Creditors may close credit card accounts even though you did not file the bankruptcy.
If you need more information, you can call my office at (818) 992-6588.
