At which point should I address the car loan in an enforcement of dragnet clause in a Chapter 7?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
There is no such thing as reaffirming a car in a Chapter 13, and there is no way for the credit union to voluntarily undo a cross collateralization. Cross collateralization is part of your membership agreement with the credit union and so obtaining the car loan and the line of credit did not require the CU to repeat all the terms of the agreement you already had with them again. Depending on the age of the car loan, or whether the car loan was to purchase or refinance an existing loan, you might be able to implement a 910 cram-down of the vehicle in your plan.

Is it true we cannot get a divorce until our bankruptcy has been discharged?

Jeffrey David Solomon
Answered by attorney Jeffrey David Solomon (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Jeffrey Solomon
A divorce can be filed during the bankruptcy. There may be reasons why filing should be delayed. There may be issues as to assets(since the bankruptcy court may have a claim on certain assets). There may be issues as to your budget and analyses of chapter 13 vs chapter 7(one household or two?) These issues should be discussed with your bankruptcy attorney as well as divorce attorney. If you have the same bankruptcy attorney as your spouse, it may be necessary for you each to obtain separate bankruptcy counsel. Joint representation by one bankruptcy attorney might create a conflict of interest.

If my husband has debt when we marry am I liable too?

Stuart M. Nachbar
Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
No, his debt does not become your debt due to the marriage. It is only if you assume said debt, then it becomes yours, or if you join his accounts.
