Just got married have to file bankruptcy but my wife filed in 2003 can i still file with her?
You might be able to file bankruptcy individually, but the
bankruptcy trustee will scrutinize joint assets and income to
determine whether they must be included in your individual filing.
Therefor, there may be more reasons that the bankruptcy trustee
would determine as cause to dismiss your bankruptcy claim. Note
that if rejection of your bankruptcy claim is upheld by the
bankruptcy court, actually your have only lost your time and
expenses to file that particular bankruptcy claim. An excellent
book for detailed perspective on filing chapter 7 or chapter 13
bankruptcy: "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition
(published in 2009 by Nolo), by Stephen Elias. I found this book in
the Colorado Springs public library under 346.078 E42N (Dewey
decimal).
