    Default Community Property and Bankruptcy

    My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Oregon

    My husband is considering filing for bankruptcy. We both incurred most of the debt involved, but it is in his name. Presumably, if he is the sole filer, I would not be held responsible for any of the debt since Oregon is not a community property state, correct?

    Also, his vehicle (paid for) is in both our names, but the value exceeds what the courts would allow him to keep. Would they only count half the value, since my name is also on the vehicle?

    Thanks in advance.

    Default Re: Community Property and Bankruptcy

    Since Oregon is not a community property state & if your husband is filing alone, only his property & jt. property will be considered. (anything with his name on it but not your individual property)

    auto exemption: One vehicle in the amount of $2,150.
