What will be the consequence of filing bankruptcy?

I am about $15,000 or so in debt right now. $12,000 of it is from medical bills from an emergency surgery I had to have (I had insurance to cover the surgery but they only paid 10% and now I’m stuck with the medical bills from it and NO way to pay them). I’m working full time but am currently switching to part time because I just recently had a baby and need to be able to stay home some of the time with him to cut costs on babysitting. I don’t care tht the bankruptcy will be on my credit for 10 years….it will take me that long to pay off the medical bills at the rate I can afford to pay them now…I also have diabetes and my prescriptions cost a TON a month…it’s impossible for me to work part time (or even full time for that matter) and even survive at this rate. I need to get an apartment for my son and I and just can’t do it with the amount of bills I owe. Is there a minimum amount of money you must owe before filing bankruptcy? Will I be able to keep my car?
I have one of the cheapest cars you can buy (Chevy Cavalier) and it is 2002. Someone suggested I sell it and get a crappy car for now…I can NOT do that. I must have a solid, secure car to make sure I have a way to and from work and also to have transportation to my son’s docs appintments. I need to keep my current car and my interest rate on my loan is locked and VERY low (3.4%). This car is great…but if I file bankruptcy will I lose it?
I don’t WANT to send my son to a childcare center. They are dirty and nasty. His father and myself will be watching him. And I AM working full time right now thank you. I can NOT afford the debt I owe either way….
Wondering how bankruptcy works if you are married. Say if a spouse’s credit is horrible, and the other has really good credit but only one needs to file for bankruptcy. Will bankruptcy affect the other spouse? Or can it only work without affecting the other spouse at all? Any info or website to look would be appreciated. THANK YOU!
I have been told recently that you can no longer file for bankruptcy on credit card debt. I am curious if this is true and if it is; what is someone $40,000 in credit card debt trying to get an education and support a family supposed to do? I have one credit card that refuses to work with credit agencies. What do I do now? I know it is my debt, but I was a young single mother and now I am in way over my head; barely living from paycheck to paycheck. What can I do to survive while I try to finish college and support my family?
