A: You are essentially asking lawyers how a debtor can hide assets from her creditors and the bankruptcy court. Unfortunately, concealing assets in a bankruptcy is considered a federal crime and attorneys cannot ethically advise you how to commit a crime.

More information is needed to determine how a bankruptcy may affect the settlement.
Once the defendant files for bankruptcy, whether it be personal or business bankruptcy, an automatic stay is generally issued. The automatic stay may legally prevent you from enforcing the settlement or... Read more »

Our combined debt is about $40K and we cannot afford to pay such a high price for a lawyer right now. We want to be able to buy a home in the near future, and are considering settling each debt individually or filing BK if that would be more affordable.
Shop around. There are many competitive prices available from qualified attorneys who offer free consultations.
Yes. You should start at pacer.gov. If they don't have the records there then go to the Bankruptcy Courthouse where the case was filed.

You only mention bankruptcy. Go see a good local bankruptcy lawyer (not one of those mills... Read more »
