I really am asking for a friend of mine. this is her 2nd divorce. 1 year ago, she filed for bankruptcy (dont know if it was 11 or 13). she separated from her husband and is rolling her house into it and changing it into chapter 7. she went to file for divorce this week and the attorney told her she cannot file for divorce until the chapter 7 has been discharged in 4-5 months… is this true and why? she cant thru to anyone to find out.
thanks.
My first husband managed to get a divorce from his first wife while he was in Chapter 7. However, this was a long time ago, and I'm sure laws have changed.
Tell her to get on her state's website, and search Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It should tell her everything she needs to know. And, some local bankruptcy attorney's also put this on their websites as well.
