Shelby County Marital Debt Attorney Ben Sissman
When you have questions about whether to file a joint bankruptcy, pursue your divorce before a bankruptcy or vice versa, or the dischargeability of domestic financial obligations after a divorce, I have answers — and the quality debt relief legal representation you're looking for.
I'm Ben Sissman, a Memphis, Tennessee, consumer bankruptcy lawyer who has helped people like you, with families just like yours, for more than 30 years.
Divorce rates continue to skyrocket. Our state and national economic struggles also show no signs of letting up. As a result, you could be facing a combination of difficult goals — the need to end your marriage and start a new life on the one hand, and the need to return to a sound financial footing via Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, for the "fresh start" you deserve.
Are you unclear on which objective to attack first — divorce or bankruptcy? Many couples in Tennessee and nationally want to complete their divorce but are discouraged by expenses associated with it. My skilled law firm arms you with facts and available options that can lead to sound decisions.
In Memphis, Shelby County and surrounding areas in Tennessee, I customize and personalize my experienced, compassionate representation to fit your specific financial and marital status. I answer all of your questions honestly and directly, and work hard to put your problems behind you and help you reclaim your life. Call toll free today for a free consultation. 866-788-0394.
More Than 30 Years of Experience With Improving the Lives of Tennessee Families
Bankruptcy and divorce are connected in more ways than you might think, such as:
- Financial problems are the leading causes of stress that end most marriages.
- After a divorce, you cannot legally separate yourself from debts sustained during your marriage. Both spouses are responsible for them after a division of debt spelled out in a divorce agreement.
- If your former husband or wife does not fulfill debt repayment obligations, a creditor can pursue — and possibly sue — you.
- One spouse's bankruptcy filing can often send the other spouse into bankruptcy also.
- After divorce, domestic support obligations — child support and spousal support or alimony — are not dischargeable during bankruptcy.
- For many couples, the bankruptcy should be attempted first — then the divorce.
