Divorce and bankruptcy go together like peas and corn. Oftentimes, if a couple is keeping it cordial and will have an uncontested divorce, they will file their bankruptcy jointly before getting divorced. This way there is only one attorney fee and only one filing fee. It does require cooperation between the parties. And if there is a conflict like who will take possession of the home or child custody, two separate attorneys would be needed for the bankruptcy as well since hiring one attorney would create a conflict of interest.
Bankruptcy can also smooth the divorce process whether filed before or after the Iowa divorce is filed. Iowa is not a community property state, so you are not automatically liable for all debts of your spouse, but many married Iowan's do have joint debt. When you are divorced, you may agree and the Judge may approve through a divorce decree which party is responsible for joint debt. People tend to think that is the end of the discussion. But because the lender was not a party to the divorce, they are not bound by this order. So the bank can still pursue both parties even though the divorce court ordered payment of the debt by one party.
Hence, people will often file bankruptcy so they and/or their spouse will be free of the hassles of joint debt. I've even seen cases where a party was pressured by the Iowa District Court Judge to file bankruptcy as part of resolving the divorce. Judges probably can't actually order a party to file bankruptcy. But they can impose sanctions and then give the party a chance to avoid the sanctions if they do follow through on their promise to discharge joint debt in bankruptcy.
Eligibility for bankruptcy can be helped sometimes by filing the bankruptcy after separation or divorce, especially for women. If the husband has a high salary that might make it difficult to file a Ch 7 full discharge, the wife may find she is suddenly eligible to file Ch 7 individually once she is apart from him, especially if there are kids.
Conversely, sometimes the party with the higher income benefits from filing bankruptcy before the separation since they can count their spouse in their household size.
If you are paying child support, you get to include the kids you are supporting in your household size for Chapter 7 income eligibility.

My husband and I separated 9 months ago and our children, Emily and Robert, live with her in London, but see me every weekend i needed my husband and children back home, I was totally devastated and confused and did not know how to bring them back home because i have tried all my possible best all to no avail, until an old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the internet called Dr Happy who help people with their relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contacted him i told him everything and he told me that everything will be fine that my family are going to come back to me, all he said i will do is for me to provide the money for him to buy the items and i did and he told me that he is going to cast the spell, he helped me cast a spell and within 48 hours my husband came back to me and started apologizing, now he has stopped going out with women and he is with me for good and for real. you can Contact him on { howtogetyourexback@hotmail.com} he is genuine.

ReplyDeleteI had doubts about magic spells after purchasing many spells that never worked I actually decided to never buy a spell again. I have tried different spell casters..Some of them never answered me after I paid and were obvious scammers, some really cast a spell but for some reason it didn't work. Then I saw a video on you-tube with a person who was mentioning she had results with Mama Anita. Despite the suspicions I had her site looked real so I gave spells a last try. It's probably the best decision I ever made in my life because it worked and my boyfriend came back with me After I broke up with him I spent a lot of time wishing that I could just turn the clock backwards.He helped me do just that. In fact our relationship feels like the break up never even happened. We have never been this happy or passionate, all thanks to mama Anita. If you're looking for a good spell caster look no further,you can contact her straight on (magic.lovespel@reincarnate.com).or mama.anitaspellcraft@hotmail.com
