How Filing for Bankruptcy Can Help Your Family Law Case

Bankruptcy doesn’t just help with personal debt—it can also play a crucial role in resolving family law matters. For many families, financial stress can exacerbate emotional and practical issues, including divorce, child support, and the division of assets. By filing for bankruptcy, you may be able to address the underlying financial problems that are impacting your family law case. Here are a few examples of how bankruptcy might assist:

Marriage & Divorce

One of the most common challenges faced by couples going through divorce is how to divide assets and liabilities, especially when one or both parties have significant debt. Bankruptcy can help resolve these issues by discharging certain types of debt, such as credit card balances or medical bills, allowing both parties to have a clean slate. In some cases, our firm may argue that a foreclosure auction of the marital home would negatively impact both parties in the divorce, and we may be able to use bankruptcy protections to stop or delay this process. Filing for bankruptcy before or during a divorce could simplify the division of debts and provide you with a clearer path forward.

Child Support

When it comes to child support, the well-being of your children is the priority. However, for many parents who are struggling with debt, fulfilling their child support obligations can be an overwhelming burden. By filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, parents may be able to discharge other unsecured debts, freeing up funds to ensure they are paying child support on time and in full. This can also improve your ability to comply with any existing child support orders and reduce the stress of juggling multiple financial obligations. Bankruptcy provides an opportunity to regain control over your finances and make sure your children are financially supported.

Credit Card Debt

Credit card debt is one of the most common financial problems faced by individuals and families today. If you are struggling to keep up with credit card payments, bankruptcy might offer the relief you need. Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to discharge credit card debt, while Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables you to consolidate and repay it through a structured repayment plan. We can help you assess which option is best for your specific situation, and guide you through the process to eliminate or reduce credit card debt.

Medical Debt

Unexpected medical expenses can quickly spiral out of control and become a significant financial burden. Medical bills are one of the leading causes of bankruptcy filings in the United States. If you’re overwhelmed by medical debt, bankruptcy can provide relief by allowing you to discharge these bills. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy to eliminate medical debt, helping you regain control of your financial situation.
