Re: can a wife file bankruptsy one her own without husband

Yes, she may. There are a number of reasons why you might wish to do so. For example, if you and your husband are separated you don't want his control over your finances. Another scenario is where the husband owns a business and doesn't want the bankruptcy to affect him.

There are a lot of reasons why you might want to do it that way. In America, a wife is an independant and full person with complete control over her own financial matters.
