No. Your individual debts remain your individual debts. Of course, any joint financial decisions will be affected by your past history of bankruptcy.

Husbands can file without wives filing - but anything joint, of course, has to be listed and the other party has to take responsibility.

This is a good question to ask your Bankruptcy Attorney who is familiar with your exact circumstances.
