Bankruptcy Law Legal Help from a Lawyer Who Entered Bankruptcy Law in 1999
Many newly married couples plan their financial futures based on joint incomes, combined expenses and shared savings. When a marriage ends, finances can quickly unravel. Often, bankruptcy and divorce often go hand and hand.
If you are facing both divorce and financial difficulties, we recommend that you talk to a debt-relief and bankruptcy lawyer to learn more about how to best protect your assets and interests.
The Seattle and Kirkland, Washington, law firm of the Law Offices of Elizabeth Quick can help you manage your debt-relief and bankruptcy options during a divorce. Attorney Elizabeth Quick entered bankruptcy law almost 20 years ago and can provide experienced counsel and aggressive, committed representation.
Has Divorce Brought Financial Strain? We Can Help.
Bankruptcy isn't always something to be avoided at any cost. Instead, bankruptcy can protect your property by:
- Reducing debt, thereby allowing you to remain current on other debt payments
- Prevent people from attaching to your property
Washington is a "community property" state, meaning that you and your soon-to-be former spouse will likely share debt obligations, even for debt you didn't incur. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy can often protect both your property and your interests.
Timing is critical. Depending on your individual circumstances, it can be best to file for bankruptcy protection:
- Before your divorce
- After your divorce
- With your spouse
- On your own
