My fiance and I had set our wedding date. (6 months from now.) However, he had been hospitalized recently and has been diagnosed with a life threatening disease. His insurance coverage was very minimal and we have medical bills well into the hundred thousands. We would like to move up the wedding date because we want our life together to start now. However, he does not want me to incur the medical bill debt. I work at a very,very, small private school and make just enough to cover rent. No more, no extra. If we get married and I incur the debt, would we be able to claim bankruptcy as a couple? The disease is disabling, he more than likely won't be able to work. I have no assests other than a 14 year old car that is probably only worth $200 for the scrap metal. Any advice would be appreciated. IS there anyone I could call that could advise for free?
