Eckley, CO Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

You and he can file separate petitions in bankruptcy whether you are living together or not. As far as the quitclaim deed goes, it only transfers your interest in the property and has no effect on your obligation to pay the debt. But the solution here very much depends on the particulars of your situation and what you want to accomplish. I would suggest you find a lawyer well versed in both foreclosure and bankruptcy in order to find the best path to your desired outcome.

Are you talking about a creditor filing an adversary complaint in the bankruptcy court or filing a complaint against you in the state court? If it's an adversary complaint, a creditor can file an adversary to seek non-discharge ability of a particular debt based on some theory (for example: breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, fraud, etc) unless the debt was incurred in the last 90 days prior to the filing of the bankruptcy case the burden will be on them to prove up their claim. If you are talking about filing a lawsuit in the state court in an attempt to collect on potentially dis chargeable debt, then contact your attorney immediately and let them know that this has happened. He/she can take steps to make sure that the suit is dismissed and if warranted seek sanctions and damages against the offender.
