Denver Divorce Attorneys Handling Chapter 7 and Chapter 13
It is important to hire an attorney with significant experience handling Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy before and after divorce. Pre-planning is important, as there can be benefits to filing jointly prior to divorce and to filing separately after divorce, depending on your unique financial situation.
Keep in mind it may not be in your best interest to file bankruptcy during your divorce proceedings, and in certain circumstances you cannot complete a divorce during bankruptcy. The timing and planning is extremely important and requires careful evaluation by an experienced lawyer.
If you decide to divorce and then file bankruptcy, both processes can be complex and the situation can quickly become contested. Both spouses will attempt to leave the marriage with as little debt as possible. During your divorce proceedings, we may recommend a “hold harmless” provision, also known as an indemnification clause, to protect you from being held liable for repaying certain debts.
