Joint Bankruptcy For Separating Spouses
2009-10-22
Bankruptcy laws in Canada allow two individuals to file a joint assignment in bankruptcy if the debts of those individuals are substantially the same and the trustee is of the opinion that a joint filing is in the best interests of the debtors and creditors. A joint filing is only possible, however, if your assets are under a certain threshold. If it makes sense for you and your husband to make a joint assignment in bankruptcy (because you meet the foregoing conditions) and one of you does not fulfill your duties and obligations, it will not affect the other individual’s eligibility for a discharge.
