What hppens if I don't reaffirm my mortgage in bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
If you don't reaffirm your mortgage in bankruptcy the lender still retains its security interest. As long as you continue paying the loan nothing will change. If you default on the payments the lender can foreclose, but the bankruptcy discharge means you will have no personal liability for any debt owed on the property to the lender. The difference with a formal, approved written reaffirmation is that a lender can pursue you for a deficiency judgment after foreclosure. It is almost never advisable to reaffirm a mortgage therefore. This is a complicated issue and you should seek the advice of an attorney who is a certified specialist in bankruptcy law. Consult the State Bar website for a listing of those attorneys in your area.

You don't need to object to discharge to college a divorce settlement. Pursuant to Section 523 (a) (6)a discharge does not discharge a domestic support obligation. After her discharge is entered, about four months after the case if filed, you can resume the wage garnishment against her.
