Question: When only one spouse files for bankruptcy (credit card debt in his name only) but lists the "family" expenses on Schedule J, is it assumed that he is responsible for half if both spouses work? I make more than him, but we have always tried to divide the household expenses in half to the best we can. Then, what each one has left over is his/her own business. Can the court make me pay more than I typically have in the past so that he can go Chapter 13?
