I want to get married but the person has a house in foreclosure. Will this affect my home?

Jackie Robert Geller

You may want to consider obtaining a prenuptial agreement that makes it clear you have no liability on that loan.

Can garnishment take place without me signing legal documentation?

Jennifer Jakob-Barnes
Answered by attorney Jennifer Jakob-Barnes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jakob-Barnes Law Firm, LLC
Yes. For wages to be garnished, the creditor first has to get a judgment, then file garnishment paperwork with the Court. A bankruptcy can stop the garnishment and any other collection activities.

Can I still petition someone for immigration purposes if I file for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Yes.... bankruptcy has nothing to do with immigration and vice versa. You might have to demonstrate ability to support the person you want to bring to the U.S., but that has nothing to do with discharging your debts in bankruptcy. The government is not interested in whether you pay the banks and private creditors. The government is interested in making sure a person is not allowed to immigrate if the person is likely to end up being supported by the government (such a person is known as a "public charge"). You will probably have to prepare and sign an Affidavit of Support and submit supporting documentation agreeing to support the person for whom you are filing the petition. That will happen before the visa is issued (in some cases many years later) and not when you file the petition (I-130) now.
