No, a credit score is compiled from a consumer's complete credit history.
In some cases, it actually does. This really depends on a lot of factors and variables, but I have seen credit scores increase 100+ points after filing a bankruptcy.
No, filing bankruptcy will never help improve your credit score, it stays on your report 10 years whereas a repo or foreclosure normally remain 7 years. So bankruptcy would only make your credit worse.
If your partner files for bankruptcy and you don't then the bankruptcy will not appear on your credit report. But you will be partly responsible for before bankruptcy filing. Generally filing bankruptcy will affect the credit rating of the individual who filed it.
There is no set credit score that everyone is assigned after filing bankruptcy. How much your credit score drops depends on a lot of factors, including how many debts you discharged, what your score was before you filed, how many secured debts you reaffirmed, and what type of debts were discharged. Hope this helps!

About 4 to 5 years
The fact of filing bankruptcy is already going to lower your credit score, and the point of bankruptcy, part of it anyway, is to resolve unpayable debt such as collection accounts. It is in your best interest to add the collection accounts to your bankruptcy, but if you consult your BK attorney, he is likely to advise you of this. The bankruptcy is the first next step in repairing your credit and improving your credit score.

Your credit rating after bankruptcy is based on a number of factors. Many people are consider a good credit risk after bankruptcy if they have no debt and a job.

will bankruptcy increase you credit score over time
Yes, as long as the bankruptcy has been discharged, your credit score is 580+, and you earn enough income to support the additional loan.
Whether you are filing Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your credit score will be directly impacted for 7-10 years AFTER you exit protection.
