S8 Ep59: What Happens if my Spouse Files for Bankruptcy During our Divorce?

#ChooseGoldman When a spouse files for bankruptcy during a divorce, it can complicate the process. This legal action may pause your divorce proceedings, but it can also lead to the discharge of certain shared debts. • Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay, which can pause divorce proceedings until the court lifts it. • Bankruptcy may wipe out shared debts, and you may not be liable for your portion of the debt. • Not all obligations are dischargeable; child support payments cannot be eliminated. • A mid-divorce bankruptcy filing may require you to hire a second attorney who specializes in bankruptcy law. • While complicated, the situation is manageable, and attorneys can coordinate to keep the divorce in line with federal law. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSPxZk5o3xw For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-divorce-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
