Filing separately at different times question

[cyn5]

Hi, has anyone ever had their spouse file first and then the other file at a later time? If so, how does that look to the trustee for the second spouse filing later?

I know that for ch 7 if only one spouse files, the benefits of that is you can basically take all their payments off of the income being contributed to the household since you have to include their income and although trustee's do not like seeing payments to unsecured creditors of the spouse not filing.

Just wondering if anyone has done this and what kinds of issues you ran into for the second spouse filing?

I'm curious too

In a joint property state, can just one spouse file, and then at a later date the second spouse file?
