Georgia  |  Bankruptcy

Those are questions for your bankruptcy lawyer. The mere fact that you have to ask about a $35,000 issue should make it crystal clear you need one.

This sounds like you are making the catastrophic mistake of trying to do the divorce and bankruptcy without a lawyer. The small amount you save will be more than made up by the likely disasterous loss of lots of money.

A discharge takes far longer than 30-45 days (at a minimum it will be 90-120 days). The claim for $35,000 almost certainly has to be reported, whether or not received, and the timing of the two cases may affect both the success of the bankruptcy, the success of the divorce case and whether you keep or lose the money.

Get a lawyer for both cases.
