Form B 106H: Schedule H: Your Codebtors (individuals)
Form B 106H, Schedule H: Your Codebtors, is the Official Bankruptcy Form an individual debtor uses to list codebtors, which the form describes as people or entities who are also liable for any debts you may have. The U.S. Courts list it under Individual Debtors. The current version is dated 12/15, and the U.S. Courts page lists it as effective on December 1, 2015. The page says the form is derived from Official Form 6H, and that Official Bankruptcy Forms are approved by the Judicial Conference and must be used under Bankruptcy Rule 9009.
The form asks whether you have codebtors, whether you lived in a community property state or territory within the last 8 years, and, for each codebtor, the name and address and the schedule and line where the creditor is listed. The committee note says it replaces Official Form 6H for individual debtors and removes Alaska from the listed community property states.
This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.

Line 2: Community property
Whether you lived in a community property state or territory within the last 8 years, whether a spouse, former spouse or legal equivalent lived with you then, which state or territory, and that person's name and current address.
Line 3: Your codebtors
Column 1 holds each codebtor's name and address. Column 2 points to the creditor by schedule and line number: Schedule D, Schedule E/F or Schedule G, with a box for each that applies.

Can a nonfiling spouse be a codebtor?
