Can I file for bankruptcy without my husband's consent?

Yes, you can file without his consent. However, a Chapter 7 discharge will not help you with regard to the joint debt. Under the Bankruptcy Code (the Code), a Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge with not relieve you of an obligation set forth in a divorce decree. So, he must file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy as well. However, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy discharge would relieve you of non-support related obligations under the decree.

Is it true that an attorney will not file your bankruptcy until you paid in full and is a retainer stop an impending garnishment?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
It depends on what the retainer agreement provides. There are two parties to the retainer agreement, the attorney & the client. Both must reach an agreement for the legal work to take place, and no agreement, no legal work. In Chapter 7, it is customary to require payment in full before filing because the court holds that it is a conflict of interest to owe money to your bankruptcy attorney and the balance of the fee is uncollectable. Who can afford to work for free? In Chapter 13, it is customary for the larger part of the legal fee to be paid out of the money that is paid to the bankruptcy trustee. if the Plan fails, the attorney does not collect their fee.
