What will happen if my husband should have to go to jail? All bills are in his name. All credit cards are in his name.Checking account is in both our names. He had some credit card debt from before we were married (be 4 yrs, this yr.) and finally got it to where we were only $4000 in debt. Then, of course, all these legal fees from his arrest and we don't know what the total bill for the trial will be, yet, but he's had to put everything on the credit card . So far, $7,500 has been added to the card. Now, should he go to jail, how am I supposed to pay all of this? I'm not even going to be able to continue living where we are as I only work 20 hours a week at $6.70 an hour. It took me a year and a half to find this job two years ago and I don't want to quit it. There is not many jobs around here, plus I don't drive. I have no idea where I can go, how I can get another place, how to even pay for utilities, etc..... My husband is 59 and I am 50. Is Bankruptcy the way to go? Can I file or would my husband have to since his name is on everything? He has had excellent credit and seeing as how we don't even know how long he would maybe have to go to jail for, I'd hate for his credit to be damaged. What do we do?
