Family Law

• Divorce
• Child Support
  An appointed trustee will set up a meeting with you and your creditors and you will be required to truthfully answer questions about your finances and ability to repay the debts owed. If it is determined that you meet the requirements for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the trustee will liquidate assets. You may be able to retain your home, car and other exempted assets. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy takes about five months before your debts are "discharged" or taken away. Creditors will not ever be able to come after you for the discharged debts. But there are some debts that won't go away with a bankruptcy, including some taxes, alimony and child support, and most student loans.
