Marriage and Bankrupcy

I am engaged and getting married to a man that had to file for bankrupcy due to a messy divorce and very bad health problems that lead to immense dept and bankrupcy. He has pulled himself out and has told me that it will be 2 yrs in June for him to be released (or whatever you would call it) and that he will not get credit with me for 2 yrs later so that my credit (which is sterling and always has been) will not be affected. Any thoughts or things I should consider. I have bought a condo that we will live in but the mortgage is my name and so will all the other credit that I have established.
I know he is concerned about his past and believe me he is not the type of man to take any of this lightly and is currently debt free other than his car which will be paid off in 2 yrs.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've never posted her before. Thanks, D

I just wanted to say hi and welcome to the group. I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but there is a Bankruptcy Board on this site which may have some suggestions for you.

Good luck on your upcoming marriage.
