The Effects of Bankruptcy on Divorce

NEW YORK CITY DIVORCE LAWYER

When a couple or individual files for bankruptcy, it can create an automatic stay that stops creditors’ abilities to collect money outside of the bankruptcy proceedings. This can have a huge impact on a divorcing couples. At the Manhattan Law Offices of Andrew J. Spinnell, we represent clients throughout the New York City metropolitan area in divorce and bankruptcy matters. We are dedicated to successfully resolving your case while keeping your best interests in mind.

As an experienced legal team, we can help you examine your divorce from a financial perspective. We will talk with you candidly about the effect that bankruptcy may have in your particular situation. Bankruptcy, for example, cannot wipe out a child support obligation. It can, however, wipe out debts owed by you personally. Lying about your finances never pays. When a spouse’s net worth statement is permeated with fraud, assets that were not disclosed and later become known can be held against that spouse by the court.
