What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington State
My wife of 8 years and I are currently separated, and planning to get divorced. We were in dire financial straights before our split, with most all of our bills going to collections, and my wages have been garnished for the last 2 years. Right now, we share about $21,000 in debt between us, in joint accounts.
My question is, how can I separate the financial burden, when she has just quit her job? All she wants to do is file for bankruptcy, but I make over $100K a year, and would be left paying the monthly debt, if we file Chapter 13.
