Can a spouse file bankruptcy without the other spouse's permission?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Yes, either spouse can file an individual bankruptcy and the fact that there is a divorce pending does not change that fact. On the other hand, your counsel in the divorce proceedings should be made immediately aware so that the divorce settlement or judgment adequately reflects the realities of the future. You do not have a divorce attorney, you should get one immediately. You're welcome to call my office with the details and for an appointment.

Can I lose my home and property due to my step brother filing bankruptcy?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
It is not impossible, but it seems unlikely. The answer depends on several facts: will he be filing his bankruptcy petition before or after he moves on to the property? (If he lives on the property, it is his homestead, and depending on the state it's in, he may be able to exempt his equity in the real estate. If he owns a half-interest in the property, and it is not his homestead, then he might not be able to exempt all his equity, or perhaps any of it.) A bankruptcy trustee is permitted after notice and hearing to sell a property clear of the interest of co-owners, and pay them the value of their interest out of the proceeds. This would happen only if the trustee expected substantial funds for the bankruptcy estate. MOST IMPORTANT POINT: Your step-brother needs to retain an experienced bankruptcy lawyer before filing, and should invite you into the conversation.
