Question:		If I am to claim bankruptcy today as a single woman with no dependants, and then were to get married next summer, will my husband's income be taken into account; will he be liable for any of my debt?

Answer:		Your husband's income does not need to be reported if you marry after you file. Please refer to the section Will my bankruptcy/proposal affect my spouse/partner? regarding joint liability for debts. Ann Clarke phone: (403) 296-2972 aclarke@alger.ca
