Should I continue paying for my second mortgage?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Why would you have signed the reaffirmation agreement with the second mortgage if the first mortgage lender didn't offer to allow you to reaffirm? What possible value would it be to you to pay on the second mortgage if you're going to lose the house in the foreclosure of the first mortgage. Why did the judge approve such an inane action. If you have a lawyer handle your bankruptcy, you should sue her/him for malpractice - if you didn't have a lawyer, then WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Since you reaffirmed the second mortgage, you're still liable on it: the foreclosure will appear on your credit report, the second mortgage lender can come after the house you inherited, if it's not paid off in the foreclosure (and it would be almost impossible for the second mortgage to be paid off in the foreclosure where you haven't paid on the first mortgage since 2005, the interest, late payment penalties and costs of foreclosure will certainly be greater than the sales price of the house).

Is it true we cannot get a divorce until our bankruptcy has been discharged?

Marjorie A. Guymon
Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You say your bankruptcy case was dismissed but then say it was discharged. I am confused as to what you mean. If your case was discharged and is still remaining open that should not stop you from getting divorced.
