Will going off of disability impact my bankruptcy?

The bankruptcy petition requires that you state whether at the time of filing you reasonably-anticipate increase in income within the year after filing. Potential resumption of work does not necessarily imply a sudden windfall that would permit meaningful repayment of debt. The bankruptcy "fresh start" implies that new opportunities that materialize after filing bankruptcy permit the debtor to progress to a better future-rather than regress and reckon with stale debt.

The house can't be taken away as long as the payments are current. In Minnesota, you can protect your equity in the home up to $360,000.00. Therefore, as long as you don't have more equity than $360,000.00 and the payments are current, your spouse can keep the property. If the spouse who files bankruptcy does not have ownership of the property, then it doesn't even matter how much equity there is. It shouldn't hurt the non-filing spouses credit as long as the mortgage payments are kept current.

What can I do as a co signer if the debtor has filed for bankruptcy?

A 17-year old cannot enter into a contract. Therefore, if you are sued then your defense is legal incapacity to contract. Getting that out of your credit report is very difficult if not impossible but you can have a note put in the credit report saying that you were a minor when you signed the contract and not legally liable for the debt.
