When Divorce And Bankruptcy Intersect
Going through a divorce can be difficult enough. For many couples, the divorce process involves bankruptcy as well.

Financially Protecting Both Spouses During Divorce
As strange as it might sound, our lawyer advises that both spouses should file for bankruptcy, not just one person. This is due to the issues that must be settled in family court. If only one spouse files for bankruptcy, the court could force the other spouse to repay a portion of the debt. Thus, it is best that both spouses file and eliminate their debts. If your marriage is ending and you are considering bankruptcy, our law firm will represent you individually, but recommends both spouses consult us to file for bankruptcy jointly.
Our bankruptcy lawyer will evaluate each individual’s or couple’s situation and advise on what options seem the best, making sure you understand the bankruptcy process. That includes addressing:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy
- Small-business bankruptcy
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy
- All types of debt, including student loans and credit cards
- Repossession
- Foreclosure and mortgage modification
- Garnishment
- How to stop creditor harassment
