What is the safest way to relieve debt without losing assets?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
Either pay the debt or file for bankruptcy. You do not lose most assets in a bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step.

Can I file bankruptcy on a rent to own home?

Sally J Elkington
Answered by attorney Sally J Elkington (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Elkington Law
Without looking at your contract on your lease to buy and without knowing if you are trying to stay and just need to catch up on your payments, this is a difficult question to answer. If you want to break the contract and discharge the back rent due, you can do that during a bankruptcy, either 7 or 13. If you want to try to stay and catch up, you might be able to do such through a chapter 13. I say might because I would need to review your contract first. Contact a good bankruptcy attorney for a consult before proceeding.

Do I need a separate attorney or does his cover both of us for bankruptcy before divorce?

Answered by attorney Jay William Moreland (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jay W. Moreland, P.A.
An attorney can file a joint bankruptcy for both of you as long as you are married. An attorney can also file a separate bankruptcy just for your husband. If only your husband files, any debts in your name or joint names will become your sole obligation. One attorney could file your joint bankruptcy, but would have a conflict of interest in representing either of you in the subsequent divorce. By filing a joint bankruptcy before you divorce you can not only pay one filing fee for both of you, but you can also eliminate the marital debts as an issue in your upcoming divorce.
