How can I add a bill to my bankruptcy chapter 7?

Daniel James Wiedecker
Answered by attorney Daniel James Wiedecker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Legal Clinic
There is case law in some jurisdictions that state if a petitioner has a 'no asset' Chapter 7 (no assets for trustee assigned to administer), as long as the petitioner's Chapter 7 schedules were put forth in good faith, no amendment is required. However, in the proposed scenario, the debtor has been 'made aware' (notice) of an additional debt before the case was discharged & closed, so the correct procedure to satisfy the 'good faith' requirement is for the attorney to 'amend' the bankruptcy schedules with the additional creditor, notice that creditor of the bankruptcy, and allow the noticing period to run for that added creditor to object, and that creditor will be accordingly discharged. It is important the petitioner seek competent counsel in the petitioner jurisdiction to determine qualifications and rights under Title 11 of the United States Code.

Is my husband be responsible for my debts if I file bankruptcy individually?

It depends on the kind of debt you have & where you live. For example, if it is medical debt & you live in a noncommunity property state, your husband may continue to be responsible for your debt. Same with jointly held credit card or other debt. But in Nevada, both kinds of debts can be eliminated by your bankruptcy.
