Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Missouri

Re: My ex-spouxe filed bankruptcy am i liabkle for all of their debts

I could not tell from your question whether you and your ex spouses' divorce is final. If the parties were still married when the debts were incurred then there may need to be a determination of whether the debts are considered marital or non-marital debts during the divorce proceeding and you should request that your spouse indemnify you from the debt incurred for the purchase of the car as part of the divorce settlement. Otherwise your spouse's filing for bankruptcy may only discharge her personal liability for the debt.

I recommend that you consult legal counsel immediatly if you have not already done so to protect your legal rights. If you cannot afford the services of an attorney and are not eligible for free legal assistance through legal aid I recommend the following books as excellent resources on bankruptcy and divorce. They are How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy by Attorneys Stephen R. Elias, Albin Renauer, Robin Leonard & Kathleen Michon

and Divorce and Money by Attorney Violet Woodhouse. Both books can be purchased from my website:
