Your marital status makes no difference to the bankruptcy or to who is legally responsible to repay the debt. If both you and your spouse signed for a loan or other credit then you are both responsible to repay the debt. The only people that can release either of you from the debt(s) is/are the lenders. You can “assume all of the debt in a divorce”, but it is meaningless as far as the lenders are concerned – they may still collect from whomever signed for the debt.
