Can we be forced to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Ethelyn Allen Bush Boak
Answered by attorney Ethelyn Allen Bush Boak (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Lynn Boak Attorney at Law
You don't have to file bankruptcy unless it makes financial sense for you. You may want to, though, as it sounds as if your wife cannot continue with her present job.

Do I have to sell my home if I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
No. People often ask if they can keep homes, second homes, cars, boats, tax refunds, etc., when they are contemplating Bankruptcy. I always tell them they can keep what they want of they can pay for it, or if the equity or value is protected by an exemption in their State! There are two types of Bankruptcy for most individuals. Chapter 7 (liquidation) and Chapter 13 (payments are made to a Chapter 13 Trustee to be distributed pursuant to a Plan you and your attorney draft). To determine of you get to keep the property you have to know two things... 1) What is the equity in the property? (I.e., what is it worth minus what you owe on it). 2) Will the exemption laws that are applied to the property protect the equity? Bankruptcy is much more concerned with equity than it is with debt. If you have no equity in a rental home the Trustee in a 7 or 13 does not have an interest in the property and you may keep it. If you owe more on the vacation home than it is worth you may be able to use Bankruptcy to reduce the amount of the debt, and again, keep it. When you have equity in something that is not protected by an exemption then that is an issue that a lawyer must evaluate. See an attorney right away before you act. Good Luck!

What will happen if my husband files for bankruptcy?

John A Moffa
Answered by attorney John A Moffa (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Moffa & Breuer, PLLC
It's unclear to me what you mean by you purchased a car together. If you are both on the title, that means nothing. If you signed a promise to pay (note) then you are both liable and both are responsible to pay the debt. If he discharges his personal responsibility on the debt, then that leaves you.
