Bankruptcy And Divorce

It is not uncommon for debt, bankruptcy and divorce to all go hand-in-hand. As financial pressures mount, so do the stresses upon the marriage. Whether or not those financial concerns ultimately contribute to the divorce, they must be considered in the division of property and assets.

Just like property, houses, cars and accounts must be split in property division, so must all debt held by the couple. If that debt is enough to cause them to go into bankruptcy, the timing of the divorce and the division of property becomes critical.
