My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Husband filing for bankruptcy. We file our taxes separately. My husband has almost $20,000 of 98% credit card debt. He has one auto loan. Everything is in his name. My name is not on any of it. In fact, we do not share a single financial account together. He is considering filing for bankruptcy this tax season ending tomorrow. I have already filed my taxes and received my refund this year. I filed married but separate. I also have two jobs that are connected to the federal government and require me to have a security clearance. I was told by the person who handles reporting these types of issues at my place of employment that if my husband files for bankruptcy that his creditors will sue me. Obviously, I will then lose my clearances and both of my jobs. Is it true that his creditors can and most likely, will, sue me? We live in California. I understand that California is a community property and liabilities state concerning marriage. I was told that is why his creditors would sue me and win. If it is true that they would sue me, is there anything at all that I can do protect myself from his creditors? Especially since we are not in agreement on this issue.
