Re: divorce

You asked about bills after a spouse's bankruptcy.

When a spouse's bankruptcy is granted then any debts owed by the bankrupt party are dismissed as to the bankrupt party. But, if there is another party that is subject to the debt, such as a spouse or co-signor, then that party can be held liable for the entire debt.
