My fiance is filing ch 7 bankruptcy but we're getting married before her debts are dicharged. Can I be excluded from the filing.

There is no reason for you to be included in any way in her bankruptcy since you're not currently married and you are not connected to her debts.

Even married couples don't HAVE TO file jointly. Just let her handle her BK. Let the attorney know you she is getting married soon. She may have to indicate an anticipated increase in income. I practice in Riverside, CA as well. It doesn't take about 4 weeks...it takes about 4 months. Disclaimer: This Post does not constitute legal advice and does create an attorney-client relationship.

As long as you don't have any debt together, her bankruptcy will not impact your finances at all. The only time it could effect you would be if you go to try to get debt together after you're married. Keep the debt separate and you should be fine. Congrats on the upcoming wedding!

The other answers are right, you have no part in the finace's BK.

If you contribute to the household expenses, then your income and expenses may have to be included in her petition. If you have joint debts, then those must be listed as well and you will have sole responsibility for them. However, your individual debts and you personally will not be involved in her bankruptcy. If you have separate households, then nothing of yours will be involved. The bankruptcy is basically complete when it is filed. The rest is administration only. The only exception is for property that the debtor acquires by inheritance, life insurance or property settlement within 180 days of filing the petition. Everything else is base on the date of filing.
