Bankruptcy After Divorce

How Do You Handle Bankruptcy After Divorce? There are many people who find themselves in financial difficulty after a divorce. In some cases, the couple’s joint income is enough to support one household, but, separately, they are often not able to make ends meet. In other cases, the financial burden created by the divorce agreement is sometimes too much to bear. Our firm can walk you through filing bankruptcy after the divorce.

If you are having difficulty keeping up with your bills, consult with an experienced Charleston bankruptcy lawyer to explore your debt relief options. At the Steadman Law Firm, P.A., we have helped many people work through their financial challenges after a divorce.

If you are searching for Philadelphia Bankruptcy Attorneys or any of its surrounding areas – you should know that bankruptcy brings relief. Bankruptcy can stop harmful debt collection, negotiate a debt settlement, help you with your foreclosure defense, give you credit card debt relief, and much more. Choosing the wrong PA Bankruptcy Lawyers could be a costly mistake.

Bankruptcy after a divorce can give you relief from collections calls and potential lawsuits. You may have accumulated significant debt in your divorce or you have incurred it afterwards. With that debt, you may be facing calls from third party collection agencies, creditor threats, and lawsuits in court. You may even have to deal with foreclosure of your home or repossession of your car. You can stop all of this with bankruptcy after divorce.

When you file bankruptcy after divorce, the court will issue an automatic stay. An automatic stay will put an end to all collections practices, including pending lawsuits, foreclosure, repossessions, and calls. If a creditor calls you or threatens you again, you should tell them the case number of your bankruptcy and give them your attorney’s phone number.

If you choose to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, then most of your debt will be discharged. Chapter 7 is often called “liquidation bankruptcy.” Through the bankruptcy process, your debts will be compiled and completely eliminated. You may have to sell some of your property to repay creditors. However, much of your property will likely be exempt from the bankruptcy. Contact an attorney to find out how a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you after divorce.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy will give you a payment play that will allow you to repay some of your debts in three to five years. Chapter 13 is often called a “reorganization bankruptcy.” You can consolidate your debts into a payment plan, and you will be able to manage them over a longer period of time. You can also discharge some of your debt after the conclusion of your bankruptcy after divorce.

A Fresh Start Through Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be used to give you a fresh start. It will typically discharge, settle, and release you from all your debts. There are some exceptions for certain types of debts, however, including taxes, student loans, and domestic support obligations.

In order to qualify for Chapter 7, you must pass a bankruptcy means test. It is important to have an experienced Charleston Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney to help you through the process. At the Steadman Law Firm, P.A., we have helped many clients find the debt relief they need and get a fresh start through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be a good debt relief option for people who have a steady income but just can’t keep up with their monthly bills. Also referred to as a wage earner plan, Chapter 13 is a type of debt reorganization that allows you to repay your debt over a three- to five-year period according to a court-approved repayment plan, often at more favorable rates and a lower principal designed to fit into your budget.

Proper filing of a Chapter 13 petition can be complicated, and the assistance of an experienced Charleston bankruptcy attorney can help to ensure that the entire process goes smoothly. At the Steadman Law Firm, P.A., we will work with you to gather all the appropriate information and complete all the necessary forms for the petition, and to help you devise a preliminary repayment plan.
