Smyrna Debt Relief Attorneys
It is all too common that divorce and bankruptcy are related. With divorce comes the establishment of separate households, property division and court expenses. These costs quickly escalate, resulting in one or both spouses being buried by debt. No matter how or why the relationship ended, experienced legal counsel can help you determine what debt relief solution is best for you.
The attorneys at The Kent Law Firm, in Atlanta, Georgia, have more than 30 combined years of experience with bankruptcy law, including Chapter 7, Chapter 13, garnishments and liens, foreclosures and repossessions, and rebuilding credit after bankruptcy. We can guide you through the complex process involved in balancing bankruptcy proceedings with a divorce.
The Intersection of Divorce and Bankruptcy
On top of being one of the major causes of bankruptcy, divorce has some specific affects on the bankruptcy process, and filing for divorce before or after divorce can result in very different outcome:
- Filing for bankruptcy before divorce helps you get your debts in order, making the divorce process as simple and streamlined as possible.
- Filing for bankruptcy before the divorce will eliminate your debt ahead of time, which leaves more for the couple to split, benefiting everyone in the long-run.
- Filing for bankruptcy before divorce maximizes the potential tax benefits available to you.
We can help with many of the issues where bankruptcy and divorce collide:
