bankruptcy alimony
i want a divorce?
my husband knows i want a divorce he makes$4000 a month and is going to file chapter 7 bankruptcy. his lawyer said to wait on the divorce until after. also in order to file bankruptcy he has to cut his pay in half. which he owns his own co. i think that is going to hurt the amount of child support and alimony i am going to get. i dont work so i cant afford a lawyer.please someone help!!!
i guess i should clarify myself a little more. been married for 17 years he never wanted me to work. he was very controlling. and if i could do without his money i would. my rent and bills run around $2000 and thats not including food gas or other necessities. and yes i have always been faithful.i dont go anywhere. he does and comes anywhere from 2 am – 7 am from doing his drugs and alcohol.
You already stated it…”HIS LAWYER”
Go get your own now, you are entitled to half his income as a wife so take your half and find a lawyer of your own and file BEFORE the bankruptcy. I’m not completely sure but if he is paying child support and alimony (which I would ask for at least until you get a good paying job) he may not have to file bankruptcy after all.
