Chapter 7

My SIL has to file for chapter 7. His attorney advised that they get
a divorce since my daughter owns all the properties. He has a very
low income and is about $80 in credit card debt.

Today his attorney told him that his wife will have to begin the
divorce procedings and he will also have to get an attorney to
represent him.

I suggested that they get a legal separation first - wait a couple of
months and then go ahead with the bankruptcy, however the banks are
closing in.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
Lizzy

 

This should be $80,000

 

what do you mean the banks are closing in? Do you mean that they are
going to start the foreclosure process? Why do they need to get a
divorce? Is it because it to to much of a headache for the attorney?
What is the benefit of a divorce?
