What do I do if I sold a small business and the purchases is not paying me the money he owes?

Gary A. Russell
Answered by attorney Gary A. Russell (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Clos, Russell & Wirth, P.C.
Assuming this contract was executed in Michigan and is enforceable under Michigan law, your remedy lies in filing suit for breach of contract and other applicable causes of action. Although your contract might state that you have a lien on the "physical property," that does not give you preference over a "bona fide purchaser" of the property. Items with titles, like automobiles, boats, motorcycles, etc., can have written liens filed with the Secretary of State. This lets potential buyers know that there is a security interest in the property. If such is not on file, then there is no security interest to enforce against the purchaser. Same goes if there is any real property involved. Likewise, if you have not taken a security interest in the remaining property, you might continue to face having the property sold out from under you. You should contact an attorney immediately, before all your security is gone.

How can I have my lawyer understand that I can no longer pay his remaining payment?

Stuart M. Nachbar
Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
The issue is that a chapter 7 can not be paid post petition, so if he files you, without being paid in full, he can not collect the balance once he files the petition.

Can I still file jointly and file for bankruptcy myself or do we need to file separately?

There are factors you should consider before making a decision on whether to file a bankruptcy with or without your spouse. Too many factors to explain in this type of setting. Not having filed your taxes for 2016 will be a problem if you file bankruptcy. You will need to get those returns in within a very short time of filing. The award from the auto accident will not prevent you from being eligible to file bankruptcy, provided you are otherwise eligible. If you have any of this money left over, I hope you managed it in a very specific way. If all of this money was spent, I would hope you did not use it to pay family or friends money you borrowed from them, or repay one creditor in preference to all your other debt.
