Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

It should not be a problem, and it should not appear on your credit report. The bankruptcy, however, will take into account the entire household income and expenses, to determine whether he qualifies for a Chapter 7.

I certainly concur. This is a favorite topic of mine and I like to expound (or perhaps digress). You are not liable on your husband's pre-marriage debts; they are his separate debts. Interestingly, even if a separately-filing spouse has debts acquired after marriage-- whether in his name only or even in both spouses' names-- creditors cannot collect from the non-filing spouse on debts covered by the filing spouse's bankruptcy. The bankruptcy (discharge) shields the community (meaning both husband and wife) as long as they remain married.

I hope this is helpful, however certainly you should seek counsel in your district. Bankruptcy representation is one of the most sound investments in terms of cost and benefit. Note this opinion applies to California law and should not be relied upon by debtors in other states.

P.S. Congratulations on your recent nuptials.
