Married couples may choose to file for bankruptcy as individuals. However, in most cases, it may be beneficial for married couples to file for bankruptcy together.

Married couples are typically advised to file for bankruptcy together for a number of reasons. One reason is that Wisconsin is a marital property state. This means that one spouse is liable for the other spouse’s debts that are incurred in marriage for family purposes.
