Can a married couple file a divorce and a bankruptcy at the same time?
Posted on Monday, January 20th, 2014 at 11:30 pm
For couples, bankruptcy and divorce sometimes go hand in hand. Both offer a fresh start after other solutions have failed. At Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC, our attorneys can refer you to a Kentucky divorce attorney, and we have an Ohio divorce attorney in house. A bankruptcy will not affect spousal support or child support, but a jointly planned bankruptcy between divorcing spouses will often be the best way for a couple to resolve joint debts apportioned in the divorce decree. At Lawrence & Associates Accident and Injury Lawyers, LLC, our attorneys can advise you on the best order in which to pursue divorce and bankruptcy, as well as whether you and your spouse should file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Not everyone will combine a divorce and a bankruptcy in the same way.
