Divorce, Debt and Your Financial Future
At Sampson-Roberts & Associates, P.C., we help people who are struggling with debt problems arising from divorce. Generally, during a divorce, a court divides assets and property and allocates liabilities. But, when couples who share finances incur significant debt, who is responsible to pay that debt if that couple gets divorced? The answer to that question can be complicated, but divorcing spouses can take measures to eliminate some of the complications arising out of debt and divorce and lesson the legal costs of divorce.
Filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy before getting divorced can save couples significant time and money. Attorney Lisa Sampson-Roberts has handled numerous bankruptcy cases and understands the special circumstances divorcing spouses face. It is important to remember that even if you and your spouse come to an agreement on how you will share your debt, your creditors may not adhere to the same agreement. Also, if your ex-spouse files for bankruptcy and you do not, you will be responsible for all of the debt. There are many complications arising from bankruptcy and divorce, but we can help you sort through them and seek a fresh financial start.
Please note: Debts incurred from missed child support and alimony (spousal support) payments are not dischargeable through bankruptcy.
