If I go bankrupt, will it affect my spouse’s credit?

no. Filing for bankruptcy will not negatively affect your spouse’s credit because it goes through your Social Security Number. However, if your spouse is a co-signer to your debt and the debt has not been paid, the creditor may report negatively on your spouse’s credit. The solution to that problem is to pay off debts for which the spouse is a co-signer.
