Spouses filing chapter 7 at the same time

What is the name of your state? LA
My husband is inheriting 1/2 of a house. He already has the 1/4 from when his dad died. We need to file chapter 7 since there is no way we can pay our bills. We used to do okay until my husbands health got bad 7 years ago and we lost everything. We live in the house now. Should I file separately or do the will first and then file? We are not sure what to do. If they take the house we will have no place to go.

I do not practice bankruptcy law in your state.

However, I do believe that Florida has an unlimited exemption on your home.

So, you can stay it in, keep it and ditch your other debts.

I would strongly suggest that you go see an attorney who does BK law in your state.

Many offer free initial consultations.

Shop around for prices also because they do vary.

Best of luck to you with your case.

You are allowed to keep the home you live in.

As far as filing Bk seperate, I would file jointly as any bills you own together, they will go after the other spouse and that spouse could in turn sue the other (messy I know). Its best to do it jointly. Its also cheaper to file jointly than two seperate cases.
