Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Re: Bankruptcy and Divorce

You have a simple question, but there is a complicated answer, dependant upon a number of factors that you didn't indicate. The only way to get proper guidance is to meet with a qualified bankruptcy attorney.

Please check out this link for an article about matrimonial issues and bankruptcy:

Re: Bankruptcy and Divorce

Are you expecting your spouse to request alimony or chgild support.

If so please note that bankruptcy does not excuse payments such as child support.

With this in mind you can file your actions simultaneously.
