BANKRUPTCY:
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation proceeding. The Debtor turns over all non-exempt property to the bankruptcy trustee, who then converts it to cash for distribution to the creditors.
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you provide the court a list of all of your debts and a list of everything you own. You also answer questions about your past financial dealings. You can claim as exempt the property you are allowed by law. This property you may keep. The trustee has the right to liquidate any property that cannot be claimed as exempt and then apply the cash to your debts.
The only restriction on keeping exempt property is that you still must pay purchase-money liens, the liens placed on property you buy. For example, if you plan to keep your car or house, you are still required to make the regular contractual payments to the creditor.
CREDITOR HARASSMENT:
Creditor harassment is the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by a debt collector. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies filed each year.

DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW:
We understand that going through a divorce is often an extremely difficult time in a person’s life. There are so many possible ramifications, both emotional and financial. Issues such as whether one spouse will be found to owe the other spouse alimony, who will get custody of the children, how much child support will be expected, and how the property and debts will be divided may make the process seem overwhelming. And that is before wondering what the tax consequences may be and how it may affect any retirement plans you have made.
Once you are served with a petition for dissolution of marriage, you have only twenty days to file an answer. The answer admits or denies the relevant aspects of the petition, it may be short or lengthy, and it may include a counter-petition. Just as the spouse who files the initial petition may ask for financial support, custody of the children, occupancy of the marital home, attorney fees, etc., you also have the right to request an equal division of assets, custody of the children or visitation, attorney fees, etc. Both parties to a divorce are expected to file financial affidavits with the court outlining their current fiscal situation.
When couples can agree on the major areas—division of property; custody and support of children; whether there will be spousal support and if so, in what form; and the apportionment of debt—a divorce can be finalized quickly. When couples cannot agree, there are options available other than a court battle to attempt to resolve the differences. Mediation can be a very effective way to save each party time, money, and the emotional toll as a result of lengthy litigation. Sometimes litigation, where each party presents evidence and a judge decides the outcome, is the only viable option.
A divorce can be a devastating experience for anyone. It can be made even worse if a party to the action feels as if the end result is unfair. Judges are not allowed to give legal advice and if the other side has an attorney that attorney is representing only their interests, not yours. You need to have your own advocate looking out for your interests.
Our firm is prepared to represent you in this matter. Please call (877) 216-8489 and make an appointment for a free initial consultation where you will meet with an attorney who will evaluate your case and explain the options available to you, along with the estimated costs.
