I have been working with people who have filed bankruptcy (Chapter 13) for about three years now.  I never really understood the stress and hardship that bankruptcy can put on a family.  It has made me more aware of how to deal with my own finances and to appreciate what I have.

Bankruptcy requires more than just signing papers and you’re headed out the door.  It‘s hardly like that at all. When we present the list of documents required to our clients, I can never stress enough how important these documents are and how important it is to keep them updated.

This may seem counter-intuitive, but owing more on your home mortgage can actually be a godsend in wither a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the Chapter 7 trustee is an individual appointed by the U.S. Trustee to administer your case.

Selecting a good and competent chapter 13 California bankruptcy attorney is not always easy.   You have to find someone you trust, yet that attorney must also be competent at what he or she does.   One characteristic without the other will not take you very far in terms of the chapter 13 process.

Unfortunately going through divorce is not just an emotional roller coaster but it's also a financial disaster. It has been my experience that most married couples rely heavily on two incomes. Losing an income makes it impossible to maintain their household when dealing with separation or divorce.
