Local Rule 1002-1: Disclosure of Marital Status and Non-filing Spouse

1002-1 Disclosure of Marital Status and Non-filing Spouse. When a voluntary case is commenced or an order for relief is entered in an involuntary case, an individual debtor shall file either 1) a certificate that he or she has no spouse; or 2) a statement disclosing the name, last known mailing address, and last four digits of the social security number (if known) of the non-filing spouse. In the latter case, the clerk shall send a notice of the case filing, the meeting of creditors, and certain deadlines to the non-filing spouse. Note: Form NM LF 1002-1 was created by the clerk for compliance with this rule.
