What if I or my spouse wants to file bankruptcy and divorce?
Filing for bankruptcy and divorce are serious actions. There
are important considerations about when you file each of these cases because it
can affect the marital property and debts. Also once you file for bankruptcy,
usually all other court cases are stayed (stopped) until the bankruptcy case
gets sorted out. This doesn't mean that you can't get a divorce or figure out
child custody during a bankruptcy case. But it will take some extra work to
sort out the bankruptcy issues (property and debt) from your divorce case. You
should talk with a bankruptcy attorney to figure out whether and when to file
the different cases.
