Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Single bankruptcy and prior pre-nup

I've been married for 6 months. My husband only pays 1/2 of food and utilities and occasional money to help me with tight spots. We signed a prenup 6 months prior to getting married. According to the new laws, my husbands income (way more than mine) is figured into seeing if I qualify for chapter 13. I don't qualify for chapter 7 already because of him. Will my prenup help (it states that debts incurred by me are mine alone to pay, including my house, car and credit card bills.)
