Can my ex put court ordered fees in his bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald K. Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Well, to start with - no one goes to the meeting of creditors, so missing it is no big deal. The issue here is the wording of the divorce decree, the decree should say that the attorneys' fees are domestic support obligations or words to that effect. That means your ex can't get out of paying them by going into bankruptcy. If your divorce decree doesn't say that, you're attorney probably committed malpractice. If the attorney fees are domestic support obligations, then you can go to the divorce court and charge him with contempt of court for failing to pay. You should either wait until his bankruptcy is over or you need to ask the court for permission to collect your debt.

First, when you're represented by counsel it's unethical for another to give advice. If you trust your attorney, then you should listen. You also say that you surrendered, which is to say you gave it up. In general, a house worth $180,000 will not catch up to its debt of $360 at any time soon, and you may be better to let it go and live somewhere for less.
