[SPAM] Interesting business versus consumer debt question

Steven:
I typed 101 but meant 302.
Section 302(a) permits legally married couples to participate in special
on
of a jointly filed case. Joint filings by husband and wife are in reality
two bankruptcy cases which are administered as a single case for the sake
of judicial economy.
If the husband and wife file jointly, the case can be dismissed under
707(b) as to one of them or as to both of them.
So yes, they can file together. But the risk doesn't go away if they do
so.
