michigan bankruptcy filings
I filed for bankruptcy in 2002, when can my husband & I file joint bankruptcy?
I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in December of 2002. When can my husband & I file chapter 7 jointly? I know you have to wait 8 years between filings, but what about if you file jointly as opposed to single. We live in Michigan and have been hit very hard by the down-turn in the economy here.
Even with the new, tougher bankruptcy laws; my husband & I financially qualify to file. My question is how long do we have to wait to file jointly (after I filed personally in December of 2002)?
Yogi: Never judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes. I assumed I would receive a few insensitive answers, yours is the first.
you will have a hard time doing that now. the laws here have changed over the last couple of years. You may have to file chapter 13 and repay your debt instead of having it wiped clean. How did you do that???? Call up an attorney and ask them what they think. Your husband may be able to do it alone
