3 years ago we left our home because of a job transfer. That home never sold and is now going for short sale (It is in my name only). 2 months ago I lost my job and fortunately my wife started a job which is just sufficient for our family of 5 to survive. I have revolving debt of around $20,000 in my name only and when the short sale goes through in a week it will go for $60,000 less than I owe. So, there is a potential of me owing $80,000 with no job to pay for it.
Can I file a chapter 7 and not have my wife included on it or do I have to include her income and assets? And can she purchase a home without my credt ratings, etc as a first time home buyer?
BTW - I am a veteran and have a VA loan on the home.
