    Regardless of a bk, what makes you think you can file a joint tax return with someone other than your legal spouse?

    Acting as common-law for the tax break, maybe?

    (Of course, that would also mean that - assuming common-law marriage is recognized in the unnamed state - they'll have to actually go through a legal divorce if they break up, too )

    Good point. . . never thought of the common law aspect. Az doesn't recognize such so it is way afield for me.

    But, in a common law situation, would not each party call the other "spouse" as opposed to boyfriend or girlfriend????? Just curious.
