Can 2 domestic partners file bankrupt together that share the same debt if they are authorized users on each others accounts

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
It has nothing to do with whether they share debt or not, the bankruptcy code only authorizes joint filings by legally married couples.   So, if the domestic partners are not married, they cannot file a joint bankruptcy petition, although they can certainly file separately. The more current issue going on surrounds married gay couples who were legally married in one state, but because of the "Defense of Marriage Act" it is not recognized federally.  There are recent cases that have allowed joint filings of married gay couples in bankruptcy court, but you would need to check with a bankruptcy attorney in the specific jurisdiction where the filing is to take place to see the courts' position on this. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Can the bank take my car if I file for bankruptcy?

Keith Austin Wellman
Answered by attorney Keith Austin Wellman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Wellman Law LLC
Whether your car would be liquidated in the Bankruptcy depends on the exemptions that would apply. When Kansas exemptions apply a vehicle worth up to $20,000 can be protected. Other states, such as Missouri at $3,000, have much less protection. If you've moved states within the last 2 years you'll probably want an attorney to assess what exemptions apply. Even in the situation where there is unprotected equity there are some reasonable options such as paying the equity yourself over approximately 6-12 months or paying the equity in a Chapter 13 plan over the course of 3-5 years. Finally, although you didn't mention whether the vehicle is still being paid on or otherwise has lien, it would have to be paid off even if filing Bankruptcy or the car could be taken.
