If I am in the process of filing chapter 7, do I continue to pay on my mortgage in the meantime?

Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
If you do not want to keep your home you do not need to keep paying on the mortgage. However, if you want to keep it through the bankruptcy then you must continue to pay or work out a loan modification with your lender.

Does it matter if I file bankruptcy before or after marriage?

Answered by attorney William D. Cope (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of William D. Cope, LLP
Because the debt is not joint between you and your fiance it would probably the cleaner to file the bankruptcy and get it done before you get married.

Is it possible for a trustee to take my 2012 refund?

Answered by attorney Jay William Moreland (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jay W. Moreland, P.A.
Yes, the trustee can take the refund if it is not otherwise exempt. There are two ways to keep the refund. One is to change your withholding so that you do not get a refund. You will get the money in your paycheck throughout the year, but will not get a lump sum when you file your taxes. If you save that money before you file bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court will still take it. So you must get it and spend it to keep it. The other alternative is to hold off fling the bankruptcy until after you have received and spent the refund which is what I usually advise.
