The ability to potentially Discharge debts in a Bankruptcy process is in part contingent upon your measure of household income. That determination includes your spouse's earnings. So irrespective of the duration of your marriage, whether the debts are only in your name, or even if those liabilities were wholly incurred prior to your union, your spouse's Pay Stubs, Tax Returns, W-2s and/or 1099s must be produced to your legal counsel to aid in their assessment of your case and subsequent preparation of the Bankruptcy Petition.
