You can file for bankruptcy as an individual, without naming your spouse. However, in order to determine if you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, they will consider your spouse's income as well. If you have any joint debt, it may not be able to be completely forgiven. If you would like any further assistance, visit www.aldrichlegalservices.com, and give me a call.
