Helping You Navigate Two Major Life Changes

Divorce and financial hardship often go hand in hand. Whether financial stress has contributed to your divorce or your divorce has created financial challenges, you may be wondering whether bankruptcy is the right next step.

At Alan J. Fisher, P.A., we will take the time to understand the financial situation surrounding your divorce and provide guidance based on your individual needs.

Should I File Before or After My Divorce?

The answer depends on your individual situation.

In some cases, filing jointly before a divorce is finalized may simplify the bankruptcy process and reduce costs. In other situations, it may be more beneficial to wait until after the divorce is complete. Every family and every financial situation is different.

During your consultation, we’ll explain your options and help you make the decision that’s best for you.

Can Bankruptcy Eliminate Child Support or Alimony?

Bankruptcy can provide significant debt relief, but certain obligations generally cannot be discharged.

These typically include:

• Child support
• Alimony (spousal support)
• Most student loans
• Certain tax obligations

While bankruptcy cannot eliminate these responsibilities, Chapter 13 may allow you to reorganize your finances and repay certain obligations through a manageable court-approved repayment plan.
