Question by N L: What are the drawbacks for one partner in a marriage filing for bankruptcy?
My marriage partner is not willing to file for bankruptcy, as I am. I have debt in my name that I am wanting to be expunged. I am not working, and I only have a few monthly bills (i.e. cell phone, cable) in my name.
Is it better to proceed and try to have my debt discharged, or to wait and see if he will be willing to file later down the road- together?

When you marry a person, you marry their debt, and vice-versa.
I have never heard of one partner filing bankruptcy, but then again, I have no experience in that area. I would never consider it. I worked three jobs to bail myself out of debt.
