Should both spouses file for bankruptcy if one is in financial trouble?
Arizona is a community property state and the law presumes that debts that are incurred while you are married are joint or community debts. Hence, it is usually best for both spouses to file for bankruptcy at the same time. There are no additional court cost or attorneys fees when both spouses file for bankruptcy at the same time and in the same Petition.
