Things you should know about the relationship between bankruptcy, divorce and other family law issues include the following:
- Whereas medical expenses are the leading cause of consumer bankruptcy in our country, financial difficulties are among the leading causes of divorce.
- Even if you succeed in divorcing your spouse, you are legally unable to separate from debts sustained during your marriage. Both spouses are responsible for them, to be divided in the divorce decree.
- If your former husband or wife does not fulfill debt repayment obligations, a creditor can pursue you for those arrears.
- A spouse's bankruptcy can send the other spouse into bankruptcy also.
- After divorce, domestic support obligations such as child support and alimony are not dischargeable during bankruptcy.
