How can I file bankruptcy without letting my husband know?

Answered by attorney Paul Norwood Jonas Ross (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Paul N. J. Ross Law, PLLC
In Idaho you cannot file bankruptcy without letting your husband know. Idaho is a community property state and your husband is technically a co-debtor to many of the debts and he will be required to be listed on the schedules. Accordingly, he will receive notice of your bankruptcy (I guess you could snag the notices so he does not know). Honestly, bankruptcy is a pretty large decision and I would be very suspect of a client wanting to keep a bankruptcy from their spouse (if still living with them). But I would wait until after your last surgery before filing so it would be included.

How long must I wait to file?

Being added to the property deed does not make you liable for the mortgage. If you are a signatory to the mortgage loan(s), then you will be liable. To stop the bank from foreclosing on your house, you can file for bankruptcy at any time before the foreclosure is complete.

Can a company modify a loan without both borrowers' consent?

Daniel A. Edelman
Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman
Bankruptcy lawyer at Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
It cannot be modified without your consent unless: 1. The original note and mortgage authorize changes, or 2. The modification is entirely beneficial, such as a rate reduction without lengthening the payment schedule, in which case it is probably within the contractual right of the lender to waive amounts to which it is entitled.
