    Default Re: What Happens if You Get Married After Filing Bankruptcy

    It is best to wait until after the order of final discharge is entered before marrying. If you marry during a bankruptcy, you will have to deal with possible legal consequences resulting of the merger of your new spouse's finances with your own. If the couple is already living together, pooling their resources, and with most debts in both of their names, the impact may be diminished; but if the couple wants to marry before the bankruptcy is final, they should discuss the possible consequences with a bankruptcy lawyer.
