EZ filing survey
I have no problems with EZ Filing and have found their Tech Support people to be pretty responsive. I always check the box to make sure the non-debtor spouse does not appear on the Petition, only in Schedule H, and have not had a problem. As for Pat's three questions, my answers are the same as Hale's.

Problem: When filing a married person without their spouse, the voluntarypetition window brings up a tab for non-debtor spouse. EZfiling has
explained to me that this tab only shows for commun ity property jurisdictions.
I have divined from my discussions with them that it is there so that thenonfiling spouses name and info will flow through to the means test and Sch
I. There is a box to check in the lower left corner of the non-debtor
spouse tab that says Include ONLY on Schedule H (Codebtors). If this box is
not checked, the non-filing spouses name shows on the petition as Joint
Debtor!
Q1: Have you ever filed a case for a married person but not the spouse
where you intentionally listed the nonfiling spouse on the petition?
Q2: Will you ever filed a case for a married person but not the spouse
where you intentionally list the nonfiling spouse on the petition?
Q3: In cases where you are filing for only one spouse, would like EZ
filing to make their system default to be that the nonfiling spousenot show on the petition ?
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

My gripe with EZFiling is that if you have a name with no address, they just omit it from the mailing list without flagging it; I think you have to go into the diagnostic report to find omitted or incorrect addresses.

Pat, I have had the exact same problem, and eventually learned of the exact same fix, which wasn't a biggie at the time (although it was annoying and after their help desk hours).
qi yes
q2 probably
q3: would be fine with me.
Don't you have to list the non-filing spouse name on the Statement of Financial Affairs anyway?

Pat -
I've had this problem with Ez-Filing where it's hard to get the non-debtor
spouse removed from the Voluntary Petition. And SSN, too! (why do they
force that?)
Q1: Have you ever filed a case for a married person but not the spouse
where you intentionally listed the nonfiling spouse on the petition?
No, but their address stays there sometimes. An address with no name looks
strange, but doesn't seem to mess up the clerk.
Q2: Will you ever filed a case for a married person but not the spouse
where you intentionally list the nonfiling spouse on the petition?
If I understand the question as phrased, no. They are disclosed in the SofA
and Schedule H and employment info on I. No need to ever put on Voluntary
Petition.
Q3: In cases where you are filing for only one spouse, would like EZ
filing to make their system default to be that the nonfiling spouse's name
does not show on the petition ?
Yes. No need to put on Voluntary Petition. It can lead to confusion when
filing if the person who ECFs it inadvertantly inputs spouse's name, then
amendments and unnecesssary headaches.

Pat -
I've had this problem with Ez-Filing where it's hard to get
the non-debtor spouse removed from the Voluntary Petition. And SSN, too!
(why do they force that?)
Q1: Have
you ever filed a case for a married person but not the spouse where you
intentionally listed the nonfiling spouse on the petition?
No, but their
address stays there sometimes. An address with no name looks strange, but
doesn't seem to mess up the clerk.
Q2: Will
you ever filed a case for a married person but not the spouse where you
intentionally list the nonfiling spouse on the petition?
If I understand
the question as phrased, no. They are disclosed in the SofA and Schedule H
and employment info on I. No need to ever put on Voluntary
Petition.
Q3: In cases where you are filing
for only one spouse, would like EZ filing to make their system default to be
that the nonfiling spouse’s name does not show on the petition?
Yes. No need to put on Voluntary Petition. It can
lead to confusion when filing if the person who ECFs it inadvertantly inputs
spouse's name, then amendments and unnecesssary headaches.

We use it and like it, but the software definitely has quirks, as they all do. I usually set it up as a single, file it, then change the tab. Only work around otherwise it puts stuff on the voluntary petition which is a paid. For question 2, absolutely not. For 3, obviously.
