I am currently am not living with and about to file for legal separation from my husband. He just told me he is filing bankruptcy, he owns a construction company that’s had a hard year. We are not ready to call it quits yet and divorce, but I want to protect myself. We have no joint accounts and my name is not even on the house he’s living in or associated with his business. Even if we get a legal separation will I still be affected by his bankruptcy? We live in Oregon.

How long after I and my soon to be ex-wife file the chapter 7 bankruptcy can i finalize my divorce from her? We both agree to the bankruptcy and the divorce, so can we get the divorce done before the Bankruptcy is 100% finalized?
