Q: I own a home and im married I want to file bankruptcy on my own as a divorce is pending
I have a wage garnishment I tried to get help with. Without success. I received the run around. They collected for 6 monthes already and now they are after my pay again. The interest is more then the debt.
A: You can file on your own without your husband if you qualify to file. You will have to see a bankruptcy lawyer in your area and go over your situation to see if bankruptcy is a good option. Equity in the home, other assets, your income and monthly expenses and the debts you have will all be part of the analysis. Look on Justia for a bankruptcy lawyer near you. Hope it works out. Good luck!
