Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

You can file by yourself whether you're married, separated or legally separated. However, in order to utilize the often preferred 703 exemption scheme, you'll need your husband to sign a waiver. Be sure to discuss that with your local counsel.

Belabored cocktail-party-conversation-as-legal-advice-clich� disclaimer: this answer (as well as our Web site) doesn�t address all facts & implications of the question; it�s not legal advice to be relied upon; it creates no attorney-client relationship; rather it is personal opinion w/general info on CA law; it�s drafted prior to posting of other answers & doesn�t reflect upon the latter. Seek legal counsel before acting or refraining from bankruptcy/legal action; it�s worth the cost. Okay, I�m done.
