Can I file for bankruptcy after our divorce? How?

Answered by attorney Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Helene Ellenbogen P.S.
If the bankruptcy was granted 5 years ago, you can't file again until 7 years have gone by since the last one. If it was not granted, you can file.

How much debt do you have to have to file bankruptcy and what are the pros and cons of a young single mother filing?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Although bankruptcy laws do not require someone to have a certain amount of debt, it just makes sense to only consider bankruptcy when it will do you some good and you get the biggest "bang for your buck." After all, you are only eligible to file bankruptcy once every eight years. Student loans cannot usually be eliminated in bankruptcy unless the borrower has a serious disability so exclude that from your total debt. What does that leave in debt? Would you be able to pay 1/4 of the balance of your debts over 60 months? Assuming that you still had $10,000 in debts, could you pay $2,500 off in 60 months. That works out to less than $42/month. Kind of hard to make an argument that someone couldn't pay that by tightening their belt. With this argument, the US Trustee could argue that the bankruptcy is not "in good faith." My criteria is to have my clients owe at least 50% of their annual income in debt that can be eliminated through bankruptcy. Otherwise, I want to consider other options. I have seen too many people who have eliminated a small amount of debt in bankruptcy (with someone else) only to have overwhelming medical debts or other problems a year or so down the road and be ineligible to get rid of debt that is truly overwhelming.

Can I get my filing fee waived in a chapter 13?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
If you can't afford fee how can you afford the plan payment. I know there is a hardship in a Chapter 7, but may not apply for a 13.
