When should I file for bankruptcy if I am getting divorced?

Answered by attorney Sarina Gianna
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Sarina Gianna, LLC
Whether you should file for divorce or Bankruptcy relief first ultimately depends on the specifics of your case, the nature of the debt being discharged, the assets accumulated during the marriage, etc... For that reason, it is near impossible for me to recommend either one without knowing all the facts; however, I can say that a family law court will not entertain settlement discussions in a divorce case if one or both parties have a pending Bankruptcy Petition. The family matter is typically "stayed" until the Bankruptcy discharge because Federal Bankruptcy Court takes precedence over State Superior Court. For that reason, I typically recommend that the Bankruptcy take place first so it doesn't get in the way of the divorce matter proceeding as scheduled and it also discharges debt that would otherwise have to be negotiated in the divorce matter. Regardless of whether you file Bankruptcy first or Divorce first, you are not supposed to do both at the same time. Hope that helps.

Is the trustee’s objection to home purchase prior to filing and walking away from under water mortgage on another reasonable?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Margaret L. Evans (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
Question: Is the trustee's objection to home purchase prior to filing and walking away from under water mortgage on another reasonable? Question Detail: We were underwater and behind on a mortgage for a 1000 sq ft home. During the process of walking away, we were presented with the opportunity to purchase a 3000 sq ft home with a seller finance. Seller is close friend of family. Payments are nearly identical. Trustee is claiming bad faith in the home purchase. Payments are nearly identical by new home is 2.5 times cheaper per square foot and in an area with much higher resale value. Is the trustee's objection reasonable and why? *- YES, absolutely the trustee's objection is reasonable because: 1) you're not lowering your payment; 2) a close family friend may, under certain circumstances, be deemed an "insider"; and 3) its being treated as a "preference" most likely. The trustee's JOB is to avoid fraudulent transfers (undo them) and maximize the proceeds available to the pool of unsecured creditors.*

Can I file bankruptcy on my home if I'm under a rent to own contract?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Austin M. Hirschhorn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
If you are renting a home under a contract where you will eventually get ownership information regarding the home and any money owed on it would be listed in the bankruptcy schedules. The reason for the filing does not usually get asked until the 341 meeting in the case. The rent to own purchase contract would not prevent you from filing for bankruptcy relief.
