Divorce, Debt and Bankruptcy
If you are struggling with debt and considering divorce, it is important to explore your debt relief options before taking any legal divorce action. When it comes to bankruptcy and divorce, timing is everything. When you file could make a significant impact on your personal finances, and your obligations in a property division settlement. The family court has a lot of control over the marital assets, and filing for bankruptcy at the right time could relieve many of your financial obligations to your ex-spouse in terms of the division of assets. Remember however, you cannot discharge spousal support or child support with bankruptcy.
Many of our clients are spouses who are going to get divorced and choose to file bankruptcy together. This can make the divorce decidedly less complex in terms of the allocation of debt. When the marital debt is wiped out through bankruptcy, you don't have to fight over who is liable for what debt. You can simply move on with your divorce with your debt problems in the past. The other benefit of this approach is that it gives divorcing couples the opportunity to file together and save money.
Regardless of the issues you are facing in terms of bankruptcy and divorce, our lawyers are here to offer you sound legal guidance. Debt relief is all we do, and we have a proven track record of success helping people like you achieve total debt relief through bankruptcy.
