    Post: Pre-nup in spousal bankruptcy in comm prop state

    Posted by stevie on 10/10/07


    My spouse is filing bk, as I stated in an earlier post. We
    have no joint assets or debts and never have. We have a
    pre-nup. We have had two subsequent agreements, although
    neither disavowed, per se, the pre-nup. The last one,in
    July of 2006, wherein we came to certain financial
    agreements, was recorded by me in the county where we live.
    We have filed joint tax returns up until 2006. I don't
    want to file with him to distance myself from him (I had
    no income and he will claim all of his), but he is
    pressuring me to do so so he doesn't get slammed filing
    separately. I read that the IRS recognizes marital
    agreements, so I am not too worried about them if I don't
    file wth him and don't volunteer liability. I am worried
    about his unsecured debtors coming after me and the
    potential ramifications of the two post pre-nup agreements
    (which essentially favored me). I live in Nevada and am
    not opposed to paying a lawyer who knows what he or she is
    talking about. Surely there is something finite or at
    least reliable? I haven't been able to find case law.
