Sound Legal Answers to the Most Complex Questions

When bankruptcy and divorce intersect, it often raises challenging questions for homeowners and ex-spouses. These questions often include:

• If I have just filed for bankruptcy, can I still file for divorce?
• Will I still have to pay child support or alimony/spousal support after filing for bankruptcy?
• If I am receiving spousal support payments, will my creditors be able to claim that money?
• If my ex-spouse filed bankruptcy and discharged his or her share of our joint debts, am I still obligated to pay my share?
• If I halt a foreclosure through filing for bankruptcy, can the mortgage lender try to collect the money from my ex-spouse?

Our law firm can help answer these questions and many others for you. Because quite a few answers depend upon your individual circumstances, we will sit down with you, analyze your situation and explain the particular implications for your specific case.
