john857 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 is your spouse's income considered as total income if you are legally separated in schedule I? I am not sure whether to get a divorce before filing for chp 7. we prefer legal separation because of insurance etc., THanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadynRed Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 If you are LEGALLY separated, then, no, your spouse's income is not an issue as long as you're living separately. If the only household income is yours, then that's all you need to list.If you file for divorce BEFORE you file Ch 7, then your BK may be held up because of property settlement issues. Its also possible for a bankruptcy to interfere with a divorce. So, get on over with before you do the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
