Bankruptcy lawyer at Paul N. J. Ross Law, PLLC
Generally, yes, those debts will be discharged as part of the bankruptcy. However, if the underlying judgment found that there was some type of fraud or other instances, the debt may not be discharged. Visit with your attorney to make sure.

Can a married woman in California file chapter 7 on her own?

Answered by attorney Asaph Orion Abrams (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Asaph Abrams
A spouse may file bankruptcy separately from her spouse. However, separate-filing is a yellow wet-floor-sign: it's slippery when wet. A waiver may be necessary and debtors often fail to appreciate that the nonfiling spouse's assets and income are integral to the filing spouse's bankruptcy. The decision whether to file jointly or not is not straightforward; you should both consult with counsel. Don't let the national credit-score-obsession strictly dictate your moves.

It really depends on whether the debt is yours solely, or are your parents cosigners, named on any credit cards, or any other arrangement where your parents agree to guarantee the loan. A loan is a contract where one party agrees to give money at a certain time, and the other party agrees to repay the loan at a later date.  The contract can only involve the parties in interest.  As such, a creditor can only collect from the party or parties that acquire the debt.  If your parents were involved in the acquiring of the debt, then they may be held responsible for repayment.  If your parents did not help in acquiring the debt then they should not be help responsible.   This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature.  No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.  Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.
