Should I or should I not need to include his income since we don’t live together?

You only include your spouse's income if you have access to it or if you live together. So if your husband's pay is deposited into your joint account for you to use, then I would include it. Otherwise, no.

Is it possible to sell my house before filling bankruptcy? Or will this create a bad situation with the future trustee?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Paul Norwood Jonas Ross (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Paul N. J. Ross Law, PLLC
Your question is fraught with all sorts of pitfalls in bankruptcy. I suggest you visit with an attorney to properly address them all. But here are some general basics. Selling property within 4 years of a bankruptcy is not an issue as long as it sells for fair market value and you recovered the value. Otherwise the Trustee could recover the property and sell it properly for full value. You will have to account for all the money you received from the sale of the home. Be prepared to vouch for most of the dollars. Lastly, payment to creditors within 90 days can be undone if over a certain amount. This time frame increases to one year and the dollar amount decreases if it is an insider, like they are related, business partners, or even close friends. If you pay these types of individuals off with your income from the sale you will want to wait over a year, at least, before you can file bankruptcy.

Can I stop foreclosure on my house by filing bankruptcy?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Under the right circumstances, you can use a bankruptcy to save your home. Just by filing, you get the benefit of the 'Automatic Stay,' which means creditors are not allowed to take any action to collect from you or your property but with proper legal grounds, a creditor can win Relief from the Automatic Stay that is, permission to go ahead and foreclose. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, if you have enough income to resume payments on the mortgage promptly, and pay off the arrears (including penalties and attorney's fees through the date of your filing the bankruptcy), you may very well be able to hold off the mortgage-holder and have 60 months of regular payments on the arrears. It can work under the right circumstances: I have done it for probably 20 clients this year alone. But the circumstances have to be favourable. Please call our office if you'd like more information. Good luck.
