Can I file bankruptcy in my old name so I don't involve my new husband?

You can file separately without your new husband but your debts and assets will include community property debts and assets acquired since marriage. So, you can't just file under your unmarried name, actually both names will appear on the petition.

If we are considering bankruptcy which is the best way to go?

John Schleiffarth
Answered by attorney John Schleiffarth
Bankruptcy lawyer at JCS Law
Good question. The answer to whether a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 will be better for you depends on your particular circumstances. Many Chapter 7 filers keep both their home and theirs cars, but they cannot have much equity in either. In order to file Chapter 7 you also have to pass a means test based on your income. I suggest meeting with a bankruptcy attorney for a personalized consultation. You will need specific legal advice based on your situation.

Since I am still driving one, can I change mind and keep it and reaffirm or since I already filed and said I am returning it, it is too late?

Is it a credit union or a bank? Credit unions have some different rules but for now I'll assume it's a bank. You can still change your mind about surrendering the car although it won't change the fact that they're still "underwater". They'll also want you to reaffirm the loan and you'll make payments through the Chapter 13 plan.
