    Default Re: Settling My Spouse's Credit Card Debt

    Smee;754987]Forgot to add some more tidbits. My spouse has not held a job since 2007 and is a homemaker and currently has no income. My spouse was making $500 from babysitting but that was all cash and was what used to make payments. Also, the debts occurred before our marriage.
    so, did she pay taxes on that $500 (per week I presume)? Tax evasion comes to mind if she didn't but if not evasion, at least a large tax bill and lots of penalties.

    and if you filed taxes "joint", it puts you right in the middle of it.




    .
    $30K is a lot of money
    Yes, it is so the question is; why do you think it right for your wife to obtain the $30k and now refuse to pay it?

    What happens if my spouse files for bankruptcy?
    it doesn't remove any possible tax liability she, or you, may have.




    What happens if she tells them she cannot pay it and is considering bankruptcy?
    that is followed immediately with:

    does she have an attorney? If so, please provide their name and contact info.

    Has she actually filed? If so, please provide her case number. If not, please pay the bill.

    If either of the situations change (she obtains a lawyer or actually files), please let us know but until either of those happen, pay the bill.

    All known creditors must receive official notice of a bankruptcy filing, so it's not much of a bluff to pretend to have filed.
