Life after bankruptcy?

Has anyone filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy? What’s life like after that? Also – what do you know about bankruptcy? EVERYTHING (except one card) is in my soon-to-be-ex husband’s name…so I’m not even sure I can FILE bankruptcy until I divorce and have some of the debt in my name. I’m divorcing due to domestic violence – does the reason for bankruptcy make any difference? Thanks!

#1- When you file for divorce, make sure it is noted that you are responsible for your debts and he is responsible for his debts. Once that is done….
#2- If need be, you can file for Ch 7. On accounts with your name only.

I have been in the same senerio. Filed for divorce and made sure it was stated on the papers that each of us were responsible for our own debts. Then I did file for Ch7.

And yes, there is life after filing.!!! I have a bank account and a vehicle. It is tougher getting the credit, but you can. And there are places to purchase a vehicle under bankruptcy. You need the discharge papers and will pay a higher interest rate. There are also dealerships that have their own finances in house.

orchardbank.com is a credit card to help you get back on your feet after bankruptcy.

Just make sure that you and soon to be ex have your debts listed separately on the divorce papers and take resposiblity for them.

Hope this helps.
