Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Georgia
Divorced filing bankruptcy with joint accounts
I am divorced and have acquired all ''joint'' account debt from my marriage. I have filed chapter 7 bankruptcy and have received a discharge and was wondering if the creditors could/would go after my ex for payment on these accounts?
Kind Regards,
Kristie

Re: Divorced filing bankruptcy with joint accounts
Normally, a divorce decree is not binding on a creditor, and does not alter their rights under the contract. Therefore, they can seek payment from either of you, or both of you after a divorce. Your bankruptcy attorney can probably provide more information.
