What the New Bankruptcy Law Means for You

The new law has changed bankruptcies in a number of ways; here are a few differences:

• Incomes above a certain level cannot qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation bankruptcy), and must file instead for Chapter 13 bankruptcy (requires monthly payments to creditors).
• The cost of consumer bankruptcy has risen, and deadlines are tighter.
• New procedures for small business debtors require much faster action.
• Domestic support orders (child support or spousal support, etc.) are paid at this highest level of priority.

Bankruptcy and Divorce

Often times the areas of bankruptcy and divorce intersect or overlap. A person may file for bankruptcy and then ultimately seek termination of their marriage, due to the financial strain on the marriage. Or the opposite may occur. An individual may seek the termination of their marriage through divorce, dissolution or collaborative divorce, however the financial strain from the marriage termination requires a bankruptcy filing. If you require assistance with both bankruptcy and divorce, our attorneys are particularly able to provide comprehensive services in both legal areas.
