Do I have to have my Chapter 13 dismissed to get divorced?

Answered by attorney Paul Norwood Jonas Ross (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Paul N. J. Ross Law, PLLC
No, you do not have to typically dismiss your bankruptcy to divorce. Visit with your bankruptcy attorney. You can bifurcate your Chapter 13 and potentially even qualify for a Chapter 7 if you wish and the circumstances permit. But there is a proper order to doing things with the bankruptcy and divorce.

Will the Trustee's office take my tax return over a certain amount?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
In most jurisdictions you are required to submit your tax returns to the Trustee in your case each year after your case is filed.  The purpose of this is for the Trustee to review your income to see if it has increased significantly enough to warrant an increase in your plan payment. Your question implies that you meant tax REFUND, rather than tax return.  If that's the case, then I would need to know what tax year the refund is for, and when you filed your case in order to answer your question.  If this is for a prepetition tax year, then whether the trustee is entitlted to that refund depends on whether or not you exempted it.   If it is for a post petition tax year (after your case was filed), then the Trustee may be entitled to it depending on the terms of your plan, the percentage being paid to unsecured creditors, and the requirements of the courts in your jurisdiction. You need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney in your area for more details. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

I need to file for bankruptcy, I am about 700.000 in debt. I also need to gett divorced, to get paid to take care of my disabled husband..

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Kenneth L. Wake, Jr.
My heart goes out to you and your current situation.  I am located in San Antonio and practice in both federal bankruptcy and state family law.  Depending on the situation, it may be better to divorce first then file separate bankruptcies or it may be better to file a joint bankruptcy first.  I'm worried about your residence though.  You will need an attorney in your area to help lay out a plan before you do anything.  If you live in Bexar County or a surrounding county, email me back and I'll set up a time where we can talk in detail about how you should proceed.   Kennethwake@sbcglobal.net
