Keep the house

If I file for bankruptcy, can the house that my wife and I live in be seized.

My name has NEVER been on title for this house or any house, in the past.
The house is owned/on-title with my wife and her mother, it been that way for as long as I know.

If I file, can the house be seized and sold to pay off my debt ?

Thank-you

Based on the information that you have provided, your spouse’s house will not be affected if you file for bankruptcy unless you are separating and then some different rules kick in.

So stay with your spouse and she’ll keep her house.
