Prepared To Handle Any Bankruptcy Issue
Various circumstances can trigger thoughts of filing for bankruptcy. A serious accident, divorce, unemployment or unexpected illness can lead to unpaid bills and missed mortgage payments. Whether it is you or your business that needs protection from creditors, there are options.
- The recent Bankruptcy Act made changes to the bankruptcy laws, but it does not mean that filing for Chapter 7 or 13 is impossible.
- We will examine your situation to see if you meet the means test for a Chapter 7 discharge and help you get the required credit counseling.
- If you do not qualify for a Chapter 7, we will take you through a Chapter 13 so your debt is more manageable and the collection activity is ended.
Bankruptcy and Divorce
Divorce and bankruptcy can become intertwined. When this happens, we know what laws apply and how they can best help you.
- An immediate stay regarding domestic relations can be aided by the individual filing a voluntary Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition.
- If you are in a divorce proceeding and file Chapter 13, it may freeze the applicability of a contempt order and may prevent the determination by the state court in enforcing a contempt order for alimony or support, until the bankruptcy court reviews the matter and makes a determination.
Contact our office for assistance with your bankruptcy questions. We offer free phone consultations and flexible payment plans. Our office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, evening and weekends by appointment. All major credit cards are accepted.
