Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Wisconsin

Bankruptcy Dischargeability of Debts Incured Due to Mental Illness and Job Loss

Medical bills are generally dischargeable in bankruptcy, as are debts incurred in good faith which go unpaid due to job loss which was beyond a debtor�s control. Voluntarily going off psychotropic medications, however, might not be totally the fault of the rest of the world--your son bears ultimate responsibility. Even if a person is unemployed, essential medications should remain a priority if needed for one's functioning. If one loses health insurance, he or she should discuss the problem with their doctor to inquire whether or not cheaper generic medications might also help them, even if less than ideal. Sometimes doctors also have sufficient free samples to last until the patient can get back on their feet.
