I have 60 grand in medical bills and was going to file for bankruptcy but heard that that doesn’t cover medical bills anymore. I want to get married but with tha much money owed I think they would go after my honey for the money. Would they? These are the questions, are bankruptcy laws state or federal? does bankruptcy cover medical bills? would they go after my honey if I married him for the money I owe
K they r federal but do they cover medical bills????
First advice – see a bankruptcy lawyer in your community.
Look on the web for NACBA – National Association of
Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. On the website, you will be able to find a bankruptcy attorney in your geographic area.
Bankruptcy laws are federal. However, in certain situations, the federal bankruptcy laws refer to applicable state laws. For example, your state may have "elected" – to have its own exemption laws apply – rather than the federal exemptions. An exemption is property (personal property and real property) that is excluded from the bankruptcy – and the debtor (the one who files for bankruptcy) gets to keep it.
Since you are planning to get married, I especially urge you to see an attorney immediately regarding your situation.
