Can I file bankruptcy on our mortgage without my wife being affected?

Lorena Lee Saedi
Answered by attorney Lorena Lee Saedi (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Saedi Law Group, LLC
If your wife wishes to retain the property and you do not you can file a Chapter 7 to wipe out your obligation on the debt. Your wife in turn can file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and if "lien stripping" is a common practice in her district you she can apply for a lien strip. If you and your wife are co-signers on any debt you can discharge your liability but her liability will remain. If she files a Chapter 13 case those creditors can seek the ensure balance from her. Of course if she is in a 0% repayment plan to unsecured debt that really is not an issue.

What can we do to get another loan modification?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
There is nothing you can do but keep applying for loan modifications. If the bank gives notice of trustee's sale then you might consider filing a Chapter 13 case to stop the foreclosure and maybe apply again or contest the denial of the loan modification possibly. In the Chapter 13 you might be able to strip off the lien for the second mortgage so you will end up just owing the first and hopefully with better terms after getting a loan modification. You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney so that you are ready to file the bankruptcy case if necessary and prevent the bank from foreclosing. I believe that the banks take your loan modification application more seriously if you are in bankruptcy so if you have already tried and failed maybe doing it while in a bankruptcy case may improve your chances of getting it. You also need a professional to help yo with the loan modification. It is not just filling out an application. How it is filled out and documented is very important to getting approval, particularly in cases like yours where the income may appear not to be sufficient to qualify.

Can I file bankruptcy for child support arrears? How?

Lorena Lee Saedi
Answered by attorney Lorena Lee Saedi (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Saedi Law Group, LLC
Yes. You can file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and put the arrears in the repayment plan. This plan can stretch for 5 years which should give you some breathing room. Once your case is filed however you will have to resume making your normal monthly child support commitments.
