Helping People Sort Through Financial Problems After a Divorce
One common situation involving bankruptcy and divorce is when your ex-spouse files for bankruptcy during or after the divorce. In this situation, creditors cannot seek payment from your ex-spouse. However, if the debts were incurred when you were married, creditors will still be able to go after you in many cases. If you are left holding the bag, it may be in your best interests to seek a fresh start by filing for bankruptcy.
In other cases, couples seeking a divorce may agree that bankruptcy is right for both of them. We offer a discount for couples that are filing for both bankruptcy and divorce. This discount only applies for couples that are entering into an uncontested divorce. No matter your situation, our law firm charges reasonable fees.
Bankruptcy will not discharge certain debts associated with a divorce, such as child support or spousal support. In addition, if you owe your former spouse money, you will not be able to discharge this debt in a Chapter 7 filing. You will not know what you need to know about divorce and bankruptcy until you talk to someone with a complete understanding of how bankruptcy will impact your life.
