Re: Married into Bankruptcy
My wife declared bankruptcy years before we met. It was due to her ex-husbands actions. Therefore, I never had my credit affected. However, I can tell you what happens.
You get about seven years of explaining why you had to declare bankruptcy whenever the subject of refi'ing a loan, getting a load, applying for financial assistance...pretty much anything having to do with money. While I don't she was ever discriminated against for her bankruptcy due the to reason for declaring, it was an emotional strain on her.
After 7 years, you find your mailbox is full of credit card offers.
As far as a prenup...if you are married and really love her, you know that what is hers is yours and yours is hers. Until you have kids and you here "do you know what YOUR child has done?" Seriously, marriage is two becoming one. You get the good, the bad, and the in-laws.
