My partner has a SBA loan from 2019. Will it become my debt after we get married?
Not unless you endorse it.
Your prior-to-marriage obligations are not changed by the marriage, but subsequent acquisitions may be. Utah is not a community property state, so joint property will have to be acquired as joint property--the title or deed should show both names. Under... Read more »

After contacting my employer, they stated they did not receive a copy of the court order and they asked me to fax them a copy of the court order so that they could... Read more »
It is obvious from the tenor of your question that you are doing a DIY bankruptcy. That's your first mistake. You are making assumptions that things happen automatically when for the most part they don't.
Go get a lawyer to help you sort this out.

She own's no real estate, no financial holdings, no car - nothing! nothing in her bank account and nothing in her will. Rents a small apartment. She's on Medicare and Medicaid.
Can the card holders go after my wife to pay here debt?
We do not inherit our parent's debts.
If the parent has assets and the estate is administered, creditors can make claims against the estate. There is a statutory pecking order for payment--and the government comes first!

I am aware of the judgement that was filed. I am planning to file Ch7 bankruptcy, however, I would like to stop the garnishment as quickly as possible. I will not be able to afford my rent next month. Is there anything I can do?
The most effective and efficient way to stop all that stuff is to file for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy--but don't do it on your own. You need a bankruptcy lawyer to guide you through the pitfalls of the process.

How do you propose to proceed.
Where was the debt creadted: Australia or the US.
Has your debtor been Australia when this debt was created.
You need a lawyer, either in Australia or here (or both).
What was your alternative, hire a hitman?

We were never married. I went through a modification but have since completed and returned to making regular payments
Does your partner have a lawyer. If he doesn't then you hire one for yourself.
Your half interest is your homestead and if the facts are right the ex's half is his, and as such is exempt.
You need a lawyer to intervene and protect your interest ASAP.

They are U.S. citizens, born there. How would the process go, would they be able to choose what state they get deported to or to the state they were born in? Who would pay for the flight? What happens afterwards that?
What happens is subject to Israeli law and the agencies of their government that enforce it. Your guess is just about as good as mine, but I would suspect that they will be repatriate on a local airline and dropped off at the nearest arrival point for that airline in the U. S.
Myanmar is going through a military coup right now and people do not have jobs. My parents can’t send me money for school or to go back home anymore. I do not have much options.

The short answer is YES.
Tort (not torte, a French pie) judgments are no different from others unless they include specific punitive or exemplary damages, which may not be discharged.
Take you specific problem to a good BK lawyer so he/she can know all the facts and base an opinion on that.
Gave jewelry as collateral- got a loan for $13000 = trying to buy back items from pawn broker who want $27942.26
Can they charge that much interest?
The paperwork states 45% charge annual is that loan sharking?
Yes it is, and probably they can. Pawnbrokers have the ability to charge massive interest rates under many state laws. I am not familiar with your state, but here in Florida it is confiscatory.
