How do I determine my current debt?

Answered by attorney Edward M Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
Your current debt is the total of all the people you owe money too. Your credit record will be checked before you file Chapter 7. That is your double check. You need to speak with a bankruptcy attorney soon. Normally, I would not recormmend filing bankruptcy while you are still unemployed.... you have no wages to protect from garnishments. You also need an attorney to negotiate down your current debts (if you are not going to file for bankrutpcy).

One spouse can file bankruptcy without the other spouse. So long as the debts are not joint, they will not go after the nonfiling spouse. Good luck and hire an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
