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.

Who is responsible for the debt now that my ex-wife was dead but I was listed as the main debtor?

Daniel A. Edelman
Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman
Bankruptcy lawyer at Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
If you in fact were personally obligated on the account, you are responsible. Divorce decrees do not affect the rights of the creditor.

What happens if had chapter 7 discharged in 2010 and now have pending lawsuit?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
I do not understand your question, if you had a debt discharged in 2010 and subsequently, five years later, a litigation has been brought on that debt you have a various avenues of relief. On the other hand, if you did not list the debt in your 2000 and filing it has not been discharged and you will be liable for it. I would suggest that you speak with your prior bankruptcy attorney or other counsel.
