Hello Sara
You have to add the income from his pre and post bankruptcy return together to report his full income for the year on your return. If you used his last pay stub, you are likely fairly close.

Hello Jay
A trustee in bankruptcy has an obligation to realize on the value of any assets that you may own that are not exempt. The trustee would look at the value of your house less any secured mortgages/loans/lines of credit less any property taxes owing to determine what the realizable value of the house is. If you own it jointly with your wife, the trustee would be looking at your 50% value. In most cases, you would be able to make an offer to buy back your share of the equity from your trustee. Depending on the value, you may want to speak to a trustee to see if a consumer proposal is a better solution for you. We do not practice in Nova Scotia, so I recommend you reach out to a trustee in your area.

Hello R.V.
In a bankruptcy, the trustee must realize on any assets that have value above secured mortgages and exemptions. If your spouse is on title of the home, the trustee would be obligated to realize on the equity above provincial exemptions. There may be an option of filing a consumer proposal. I do not practice in Quebec, so recommend you reach out to a local trustee to clarify. If you would like a referral, please email me directly.

Hello Melissa
You are not responsible for your husband’s debts just because you are married. His bankruptcy will not affect you unless you guaranteed, co-signed or jointly owe the debt. If you are responsible for the debt and unable to pay, I would be happy to review your financial situation in detail and discuss solutions.
Regards
Kathy
