Can I file bankruptcy if I was sued in a civil suit?

Answered by attorney Thomas Corcoran Phipps (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Thomas Corcoran Phipps
You need to read the judgment. You cannot discharge a debt that results from willful and malicious injury to another. If you live in another state, the plaintiff can register it as a foreign judgment and try to collect.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
Since there are no child support arrearages you do not have to file a Proof of Claim. Your exes' obligation to pay child support in the future is unaffected by his bankruptcy filing.

Should someone file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 for student loan debt?

Jeremy B Shephard
Answered by attorney Jeremy B Shephard (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at David Andersen & Associates, PC
Under your fact scenario, I would not recommend filing bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is not going to help either of you. It is extremely difficult to discharge (ie: get rid of) student loan debt and I'm not sure you would be able to meet the guidelines. She could file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy to reduce the payments temporarily during the time of a bankruptcy. I would recommend she look further into the consolidation options before going the Chapter 13 route.
