Bankruptcy And Divorce Decrees
My ex filing for bankruptcy – leaving me with the debt collectors?
I am now legally divorced, but when we separated, I did not cover my a@# financially. My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer, so I was not concentrating on the separation and left with my 2 kids to be with my family. Before I could cancel anything, he overdrew our joint bank account and the car in his possession was repo’ed, but both our names were on the loan. All of this is stated on the divorce decree, but that doesn’t protect me from the creditors. Anyway, now he has filed for bankruptcy. So I am afraid the creditors are going to come after me. Should I file bankruptcy too? I refuse to pay for debts that were his alone, plus I can’t afford it. Any suggestions?
You may want to consult an attorney about filing your own bankruptcy.
Another option you have if your ex filed for bankruptcy within the last 90 days, you may object to him discharging any liability against him. That would allow you to collect damages from him.
