Bankruptcy, Divorce & Community Property

Obtaining Debt Relief Before or After Divorce

Financial problems can lead to a divorce, either directly or indirectly. If you are struggling to handle unmanageable debts and you want to get a divorce, you should talk with an experienced bankruptcy attorney.

The reason is simple — divorce lawyers quite naturally focus on the family law issues before them. They may not fully consider the question of whether their client should file for bankruptcy, or if so when they should file. Making the wrong decision can cost you thousands of dollars.

Leen & O'Sullivan, PLLC is a bankruptcy law firm which has helped many divorcing couples make the right decisions about bankruptcy. We will work closely with your divorce attorney to ensure that you can obtain as much debt relief as possible.

Every Situation Is Different

When it comes to questions regarding bankruptcy, divorce and community property, there is no one answer. An attorney at our firm can review your situation and discuss your legal options.

If one spouse files for bankruptcy, creditors are prohibited from foreclosing on or repossessing community property. In many situations, it makes sense for only one spouse to file for bankruptcy before divorce, and get what is known as a community discharge. Your case however, may have unique aspects. We can work with your divorce lawyer to make sure your property and interests are protected to the fullest degree possible.
