How much debt do you have to have to file bankruptcy and what are the pros and cons of a young single mother filing?

Richard B. Jacobson

First of all, in general you may not discharge student loans in bankruptcy at least not unless you are incapable of supporting your family and also paying even a few dollars a month on the loans. So, subtracting the student loans from the $10,000, consider how much you are discharging, and how many creditors there are. If there are only one or two, it would be worthwhile trying to work out some kind of settlement or extension of time to pay with the creditors. More than that usually does not work. The negative is that bankruptcy has various costs with it: a filing fee, a legal fee, a fair amount of effort on your part to assemble the information, two online 'briefings,' must be done. Your credit score will go down, but you can repair that with 24-30 months or meticulous regular payments on the bills that will remain, such as rent, utilities, etc. You would do well to discuss the whole thing with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer.
